Lawrence Scheele is a marine biologist, writer, underwater photographer and filmmaker. He is passionate about documenting the lesser-known creatures of the ocean, and capturing the wonder and fragility of marine ecosystems to inspire education and conservation.

Born in Canberra and raised in Sydney, he studied at the University of Tasmania before completing his Marine Biology degree at James Cook University in Townsville. Combining science with visual storytelling, Lawrence has spent years documenting the biodiversity of the Great Barrier Reef and beyond. He completes his photography and research while freediving, which allows him to get closer to his subjects and capture rare and previously undocumented species.
