Jess Hadden is an Australian photographer specializing in underwater imagery, with a more recent expansion into aerial photography.

Jess has always had a love for the ocean, which led him to start scuba Diving at the age of 15 and becoming a scuba divemaster at the age of 18. Jess is in absolute awe of the world that lies beneath the surface of the sea, capturing underwater scenes in the natural light. He is also an avid free diver who feels most at peace underwater, with a no obligation to share its vast beauty with the world in order to protect it.

Jess’ photographic imagery focuses on intimate encounters with Ningaloo marine life.

Over the past 8 years Jess has called Ningaloo home, working on board whale shark interactive swimming tours. This has allowed Jess the opportunity to experience and capture extraordinary wildlife encounters on camera to share his passion with the world.
