Gates Announces Howard Hall and Brian Skerry Book Signing at DEMA Booth
"Successful Underwater Photography" the long awaited update to the underwater photographers "bible".
San Diego, California - October 15th, 2002 - Gates Underwater Products today announces a book signing event with Howard Hall and Brian Skerry at Gates DEMA booth 1701A&B.
"Successful Underwater Photography" is the long awaited update to Howard Halls’ 1982 "Guide to Successful Underwater Photography", held by many as the ‘bible’ of underwater photo technique. It will be available for the first time ever at DEMA.
With the experienced contribution of co-author Brian Skerry, the new edition retains the simple and practical style of the original, but now features 144 full color pages, dozens of new photos, and a complete review of housed systems, metering, auto exposure, equipment choices, and much more.
"We are very pleased to host the respected Howard Hall and Brian Skerry for a book signing event," comments John Ellerbrock, President of Gates Underwater Products. "The new wave of digital underwater photographers will find the tried and true tenants of this book an instant classic."
Gates has also recently introduced a new digital still housing for the Sony F707 and F717 five megapixel digital still cameras. Attendees of DEMA that purchase either of these housings will receive a signed copy of the book with their order.
About Howard Hall and Brian Skerry: biographies are attached to this release.

Using ‘bulletproof’ machined aluminum, 100% mechanical controls, time-proven design methods, and state of the art manufacturing, Gates housings are built to satisfy the most demanding recreational divers, imaging professionals, marine researchers, salvage operators and military personnel.
Howard Hall Biography
Howard Hall's career as an underwater film producer, cinematographer, still photographer and writer began in the early 1970's. He is a roving editor for International Wildlife Magazine and an associate editor for Ocean Realm Magazine, for which he writes a regular column. His photographs have been published internationally in many books and other magazines including: Life, Natural History Magazine, National Geographic, New York Times, Airone, GEO, Terre Sauvage and UWF. Howard's book credits include Sharks, The Kelp Forest, Secrets of the Ocean Realm and Dolphins
The winner of six Emmy Awards, Howard has worked on countless film projects. Among his favorites are 16 episodes of the Wild Kingdom series he filmed and directed, filming for Nova and Survival Anglia, ABC's Dolphins, Whales and Us and the primary cameraman for the National Geographic Special: Sharks, which remains the highest rated PBS documentary ever aired. In 1998 PBS aired the 13 part series Secrets of the Ocean Realm produced by Howard and his wife Michele.
Howard made his debut in IMAX films in 1994. He was director of underwater photography for MacGillivray Freeman's The Living Sea (nominated for a 1995 Oscar). He was also director of the first IMAX 3D underwater film, Into The Deep. The New York Times critic Janet Maslin called the film "exotically beautiful" and "truly out of this world." Into The Deep has subsequently experienced record-breaking attendance in each theater in which it has screened. In 1999 Howard's IMAX film, Island of the Sharks debuted in theaters nationwide.
Brian Skerry Biography
Brian Skerry is an assignment photographer for National Geographic Magazine specializing in elusive underwater subjects. His assignments have taken him from shooting giant bluefin tuna in the Mediterranean to striped marlin off of Baja to sperm whales in the Azores. In the last year alone he has photographed saturation divers/scientists inside an underwater habitat, seals beneath Arctic ice, 5 species of sharks, jumbo squid and the D-Day shipwrecks off Normandy, France.
His images have also been featured in magazines such as People, Sports Illustrated, US News and World Report, Smithsonian, Esquire, Audubon, Outdoor Life, Wildlife Conservation, Yankee, Maxim, Men’s Journal and in publications worldwide. He is the author/photographer of Complete Wreck Diving and A Whale on Her Own - The True Story Of Wilma The Beluga Whale. His latest book, Successful Underwater Photography (with Howard Hall) will be released in the fall of 2002 by AMPHOTO, a division of Watson-Guptill.
