About Simon:- Simon first picked up an underwater camera in 2002, and his first feature was published 12 months later. Simon now supplies 17 dive magazines throughout the world with both single images and features, and to date his work has been translated into 10 languages, including Russian and Mandarin. In addition to the dive press, Simon's topside work includes motorcycle touring features and his most recent tour of Laos has just been published in BIKE magazine in the UK. Working closely with commissioning editors, Simon will develop a story from idea to finished article, with words and images supplied. Simon is a member of the National Union of Journalists and lives in Hampshire, England with his wife and two daughters. What Simon's clients say:- "Simon Brown is one of the few photojournalists working in the diving field with the ability to combine writing and photography to a high standard. While there is no shortage of underwater photographers happy to 'write up' their holidays, Simon has the reporting skills necessary to turn in features worthy of publication at a national level. He has a natural grasp of reportage that informs both photography and text, and has fostered excellent contacts in the military and recreational diving fields. I use him in DIVE because he generates imaginative feature ideas, works closely to a brief and provides work of reliably high quality" Simon Rogerson. Editor, DIVE magazine
