ABOUT Richard Herrmann

Photo Post
EARLY WORK In 1990 I got the job I had always dreamed about…photographer on the Calypso for the Cousteau Society. I caught the Cousteau team just at the end of their filming days. The Captain would only live a couple more years and the funding was becoming more and more difficult to come by. Although I was only on the boat for 30 days in the Philippines, I got to know Madame Cousteau quite well and was able to hear stories I had read in the “Silent World” from someone who was there from the beginning. In this photo I am on the back deck of the Calypso in the Philippines after finishing my first underwater photographic assignment. Note the vintage “silver” suit!
