Sometimes you meet someone whose dedication to their craft is so meticulous and thorough, you just have to find out what drives their passion.

So it was with international award winning photographer Erick Regnard. He and his twin brother Ian have travelled the world doing high-end art and advertising photography. 

They heard about the wonders of underwater photography in Niue, a tiny island off Tonga, with water so clear it was like being suspended in space.

And so they designed their underwater polaroid camera and housing, and after many months of planning took off on their adventure. In a true twist of fate they went searching for whales but instead came back with astounding underwater photos featuring a female model that make you question the laws of physics.

These photos have won awards from all around the world, and are now on display in a special exhibition called Floating Bits, in Brisbane’s Maud Street Photo Gallery.

Erick tells us in this episode of Streets of Your Town, what keeps driving his creative quest, after decades of taking astounding photos all around the world.
