Early life

Anderson was born in Glasgow. His father Stan was a civil engineer and his mother Anne, an artist. He discovered photography and the sea at a young age. During annual trips to the family home in Lamlash, on the Isle of Arran, Anderson quickly became a confident snorkeler and free diver. At the age of 11 he borrowed a Nikonas Mark 3 camera from his father and took his first images of a lion's mane jellyfish just off the “Old Pier” in Lamlash bay.

Career

Anderson studied Marine Biology at St Andrews University, Scotland. After graduation he spent five years as a commercial scallop diver on the Scottish west coast. To pursue a career in wildlife photography, in 1996, Anderson moved to Bristol, home of the BBC Natural History Unit. In 1999, after four years of camera assisting, Anderson shot his first “Blue Chip” Wildlife sequence for a BBC’s The Blue Planet series. The sequence was of a 15m Sei Whale feeding on a small bait ball of the Pacific side of Mexico. As of 2010 Anderson has been involved in the principal photography on BBC/Discovery Channel productions The Blue Planet, Planet Earth, Life, and Frozen Planet (due for release Autumn 2011) as well as many other wildlife programmes. Anderson is also a stills photographer and in 2011 embarked on a large format underwater photography project.
