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 their mutual interests and shared philosophies during a chance encounter in an IBM cafeteria. Now retired, the former software engineers are avid scuba divers and freelance wildlife and nature photographers.

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.
