Welcome to Sealimages.com, the online portfolio of wildlife biologist and photographer Dr John Gibbens.

By spending several months of the year on remote islands, John gets access to spectacular wilderness areas that other photographers don't. While a website specialising in fur seals may seem a little obscure, it's a niche that hasn't been well documented before. And the pups are undeniably cute.

Learn more about seals and seabirds by having a look at the photo stories and image galleries.

John's prize-winning images have been published in newspapers, magazines and scientific journals. He's also represented by photographic agencies Auscape, SeaPics.com, Marine Themes (search for "Gibbens") and AlaskaStock.
