Charts underwater photographer Alex Kirkbride's astonishing three-year journey through every state in the US. From flooded quarries to freezing Alaskan waters, from cranberry bogs to Elvis' swimming pool, this work features his collection of pictures accompanied by an account of his American odyssey.

"American Waters" charts underwater photographer Alex Kirkbride's astonishing three-year journey through every state in the US. From flooded quarries to freezing Alaskan waters, from cranberry bogs to Elvis' swimming pool, Kirkbride has amassed a unique collection of pictures. His creative approach and unerring technical ability enabled him to capture startling images - including the rare sight of a whale placenta and eerily still and beautiful wreck shots. The photographs are accompanied throughout with a compelling account of this American odyssey: the challenges of non-stop driving and diving; the hazardous weather and the memorable people encountered.

Alex Kirkbride has been taking underwater photographs for 25 years. He has worked for National Geographic, amongst many other magazines, and won a Communication Arts award. His water images have appeared on magazine covers and in exhibitions throughout Europe and America. Alex lives in Hove, UK and New York.
