Gregory Sweeney
Gregory Sweeney began his career as a wildlife photographer while working as a biologist with the National Park Service. Currently he specializes in underwater photography and African animals. He has a passion for wildlife and shares this passion with others while leading photo tours such as a Tiger Shark Dive in the Bahamas, a manatee photo workshop, and a snorkel to photograph whalesharks. For a dry land pursuit, African wildlife has also become a special attraction for Gregory. He now owns a small lodge in South Africa which serves as a home base for his African photography safari and photo workshop.
