About

Dickson Images represents a collaboration of husband and wife team Bruce and Mary Lou Dickson. Although from different parts of the world, Bruce and Mary Lou discovered that their mutual interests and shared philosophies could be successfully blended into a creative, powerful body of artwork.

Avid scuba divers and freelance wildlife and nature photographers, Bruce and Mary Lou travel extensively, expanding their portfolio, creating stock images, teaching and writing.

Whether they are above water or below, Bruce and Mary Lou practice their philosophy of “Environmentally Responsible Photography”, which translates to photography with minimal impact on both the wildlife and our fragile ecosystem.
