Jennifer Ross found her passion for underwater photography after spending years in front of the camera, swapping out commercial and catalog work for backrolls and dive tables. In 1986 Jennifer was introduced to scuba diving and earned a number of dive certifications while working in the dive industry in Guam. During an extended surface interval Jennifer ran a successful private medical practice while raising her family. In 2021 she began taking photos underwater and two years later she won her first photography award at MantaFest. While in Yap at MantaFest Jennifer met renowned underwater photographer David Fleetham. Fast forward a year and a half and the two now call Guam home, the perfect launch pad for exploring Asia and Micronesia's breathtaking dive sites. Jennifer shoots the Canon R100 with two optical cables to two Ikelite DS161 Strobes set to TTL.
