Dale Sanders
Photojournalist

Extensive travel throughout all islands in the Caribbean. Additionally, Central & South America, Europe, Australia, and unique destinations like Mauritius, French Polynesia, Hawaii, and other remote tropical destinations.

As a travel and outdoor photojournalist Dale places an emphasis on being on hand to cover events in targeted tropical locations.  Hence, he keeps a sportfish on the Florida Gulf Coast, and lives on a freshwater lake north of Tampa with a trailerable bass boat for inland water related assignments.

Dale was one of the first to convert to digital photography many years ago.  Thus, he has an extensive Pro Nikon digital system, and Nikonos underwater system, while still retaining film camera bodies if needed.  Additionally, Dale utilizes a specialty housed camera for shooting "over under" shots in water.  He also maintains a very sophisticated digital scanning and post production studio utilizing Photoshop CS4, and a Nikon 16 bit scanner.
