Olympus Imaging is sponsoring the Australian and New Zealand legs of the 2014 National Geographic Live! series, with events from July 27 to October 14 in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Wollongong, Auckland and Wellington.
The ‘Coral, Fire & Ice’ series (July-August), features renowned National Geographic photographer David Doubilet, while ‘Extreme Adventure on the Edge’ with award-winning filmmaker Bryan Smith, (September – October), will see him share extraordinary tales of adventure. Prestigious venues such as the Sydney Opera House and Melbourne’s Hamer Hall have been chosen for the lavish audiovisual presentations.
David Doubilet (pictured right) and Bryan Smith will recount experiences as correspondents for the National Geographic magazine and the National Geographic Channel.
David Doubilet is one of the world’s most well-regarded underwater photographers, and has photographed over 70 stories for National Geographic, reporting on coral reefs, historic shipwrecks, ocean predators and other exotic marine creatures. His presentation will range from tropical coral environments through to the Gulf of St Lawrence, to the ice-filled waters of Antarctica.
