Portraits of Planet Ocean: The Photography of Brian Skerry

Brian Skerry can be called many things – explorer, journalist, conservation advocate – but he is first and foremost a photographer. His journeys to capture amazing underwater photographs have taken him across the world’s oceans. An exhibition of his photographs, “Portraits of Planet Ocean: The Photography of Brian Skerry” opens Sept. 17 at the National Museum of Natural History in celebration of the fifth anniversary of the Sant Ocean Hall.
