Alex Dawson Profile

Based in Stockholm, Sweden, Alex Dawson has over 20 years of experience in commercial and underwater photography.

During the past 15 years, his primary focus has been on deep-water wreck diving all over the world.

The most recent of his numerous award-winning images include the wreck of the Tyrifjord in Norway – a category winner in the 2022 Underwater Photographer of the Year awards.

In 2010, Alex helped salvage the world’s oldest champagne from a wreck in Finland’s Åland archipelago.

Alex is a Nikon #Zcreator and ambassador of many underwater brands, including Reel Diving, Divesoft and Mares scuba diving equipment.

When I ask Alex Dawson how his week has been so far, he says “busy”, which is a fairly stock reply when two strangers come face to face on Zoom. Then he qualifies his response by adding, “Actually, I always say I’m busy, but this really has been the worst 10 days of my life!” He freely admits that the reason is no one else’s fault but his own. “It’s self-inflicted,” he says, “so I can’t blame anyone!”
