David Doubilet & Jen Hayes

Coral, Fire, and Ice: Exploring Secret Underwater Worlds National Geographic Live! Tuesday, May 12th | 7:30 PM Muriel Kauffman Theatre

Explore rarely seen undersea worlds with two photographers creating a visual voice for the world’s oceans. David Doubilet with his wife and underwater partner, Jennifer Hayes have explored the rich and diverse waters of Kimbe Bay, Papua New Guinea, part of the “coral triangle.” Follow them into the world beneath the Antarctic ice, then north to the Gulf of St. Lawrence to see whales, wolfish and harp seals.

The National Geographic Live Series is presented thanks to the generosity of Teresa and Tom Walsh, Aristocrat Motors and Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City and Sprint.

Biography David Doubilet has a long and intimate vision into the sea. He began snorkeling at age 8, and by age 12 he was making pictures underwater using a Brownie Hawkeye camera stuffed into a rubber anesthesiologist bag. The pictures were barely recognizable. David has long since mastered the techniques of working with water and light to become one of the world’s most celebrated underwater photographers.

Jennifer Hayes is an aquatic biologist and photojournalist specializing in natural history and marine environments. Jen Hayes and David Doubilet collaborate as a photographic team above and below water on project development, story production, feature articles and books.
