Rick Tomlinson spoke to Andy Schell of 59 North Sailing about offshore photography and discussed some of his most classic pictures, the stories behind them and the techniques used to get the shot.
In Episode #178 Andy chats to Rick, who is one of yachting’s most accomplished photographers. “What I didn’t know before we met was how accomplished he is as a sailor. Rick was a crew member on four consecutive Whitbread Races, and literally invented the modern concept of onboard reporter.” Andy adds, “Back in his day, Rick was an integral member of the sailing crew – he took photos onboard as a hobby, on his off-watches, and even developed film in the galley sink offshore! Mia and I traveled to Rick’s beautiful studio in Cowes on the Isle of Wight last September to chat about his career.”
