Ron Lucas, an adopted Bermudian, first learnt to dive in 1996. Underwater photography soon became a passion.

In 2001 Ron took early retirement and concentrated on developing his underwater photographic skills. He worked on capturing images of all the common reef occupants in Bermuda with a view to someday publishing an underwater photographic book. This has now become a reality.

On June 12th 2008 "Bermuda Reef Portraits" became available through the publisher, Bermuda Zoological Society (BZS) which is the registered charity that supports the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum & Zoo and in Bermuda book and gift shops. Ron has donated some 120 of his best pictures and written the majority of the text to appeal to both visitors and residents. This is Bermuda's first comprehensive photo book of underwater reef creatures. It serves as an introductory ID reference to Bermuda's reef life for both divers and snorkelers.

Ron has donated photographs to the BZS for educational purposes and to the local REEF Organization. He has also supplied images to Corporate Bermuda. Ron has expanded his image collection with many dive trips to various Caribbean Islands, also Belize, Bonaire, Kona and Galapagos.

He shoots with a housed Digital SLR and uses one strobe to get interesting shadow effects. Enjoy these images and do not hesitate to email him at ronlucasphoto@logic.bm for further information.
