TIPS This site has the largest searchable collection of Alex Mustard’s Underwater Photography anywhere online. Although it contains many thousands of images (currently 9500+), please note that this is a curated collection, showcasing a small percentage of the images Alex had made. These images have been selected by the photographer to represent the best of his work and the collection is updated regularly as Alex takes and processes new images. When searching for images please note that this is not like searching the entire internet! The search facility works very well with locations (countries, regions, oceans, seas, etc, e.g. “Red Sea“) and species (common or latin names). Although all images are fully captioned and keyworded with colours, numbers and behaviour all noted. So many search terms work well. All spelling in the captions is in UK English! The search is optimised to find all matches. For example “ray” will find all stingrays, manta rays, sun rays and even morays! Furthermore, there is no need to type in the entire word, “nudib” will find all images labeled nudibranch, nudibranchs, nudibranchia etc, so is usually the best way to search. In general, avoid plurals, “fishes” will return only fishes, and miss fish. “Fish” gets both. If you are unsure whether to search “sea horse” or “seahorse” it is better to use the search term “horse” since Alex’s photos are predominantly underwater (although there are 4 horse photos, currently)! If you enter two or more words, then the search will look for exact matches, e.g. “Basking Shark” will not yield other types of shark. Use “&” or “AND” for multiple terms, such as “diver & wreck & Egypt” will return all diver images, with wrecks from Egypt. This stock search tool can also be used by anyone interested in Alex’s photography. Underwater photographers can use this to search for dive destinations they are planning to visit or even specific cameras, such as “Nikon D850” (for lenses just use the focal length with .0 afterwards, for example, type “13.0” to see images with the Nikonos 13mm fisheye). You can also use the year as a search term or use the search term “mustard” to see all images, with the most recent first. If you are having trouble finding what you want, please contact Alex for help. Each image has a unique file name e.g. UK16_am_12345 – please quote this when requesting images to avoid any confusion. Should an image not exactly match your needs, please contact Alex as he is likely to have alternative images of the same subject shot at the same time, but do remember that the images here are the photos he rates highest and that all the images in this collection are already prepared at high resolution and available for Alex to send immediately.
