Bryce is a Director, Producer and Emmy Nominated Cinematographer (Mission Blue) from Kona, Hawaii. For more than 15 years, he's explored the world (working with National Geographic, HBO, ESPN, PBS, Discovery, Travel Channel, A&E, Tesla, Red Bull +) as a freelance producer and cinematographer specializing in the marine environment.
In 2004, he started Living Ocean Productions, on the Big Island of Hawaii, with the goal of bridging the gap between the scientific community and the general public through powerful imaging and storytelling.
His work has been featured in numerous documentaries, television series, magazines, newspapers and a myriad of international film festivals, museums and aquariums around the world. With more than 5000 hours shooting underwater, Bryce has created meaningful and innovative programming covering issues in more than 50 countries.
For years, his efforts and images have worked to showcase the matters surrounding sharks, whales, reefs and cultures all over the globe. In 2010, Bryce assisted in helping Hawaii become the safest place in the world for sharks, with the passing of SB2169 - a Bill which prohibits the possession, sale or trade of any shark fin products in the state of Hawaii. Since its passing, SB2169 has been a catalyst which has sparked similar shark legislation in multiple countries and more than 10 other US States and Territories.
Bryce is also Co-Founder and Managing Director of Ocean Preservation Alliance, an organization that connects scientists and NGOs with super-yachts around the world. Independently, his solution-based strategy work focuses on all water, people, land and cultural issues challenging us today. Bryce also sits on the International Board of Directors for WildAid and has his fine art photography, on recycled slabs of aluminum, represented at New River Fine Art on Las Olas Blvd in Ft Lauderdale, Florida.
