About
Welcome to Sealimages.com, the online portfolio of wildlife researcher and photographer John Gibbens.

John's wildlife research sends him to fur seal colonies on remote islands for several months of the year, presenting him with photo-ops that other photographers don't get. His prize-winning photographs have been published in major newspapers, local newspapers, magazines and scientific journals. They are represented by the stock agencies Auscape, SeaPics.com and Marine Themes (search for "Gibbens") and are also available for purchase as prints or for stock use from the Ordering page.

Some of the planet's most intriguing animals are predators that hunt in the ocean but rest on land - the seals and seabirds. However, these animals usually inhabit remote islands and remain inaccessable to most people. This website opens a window to that hidden world, revealing the beauty and conservation issues surrounding rarely-seen marine mammals and birds. Learn more about these amazing creatures with the Photo Stories. The Galleries show John's best photographs but there are hundreds more of all aspects of seal and seabird breeding, behaviour, and research activities available on request.
