Versatile in all aspects of large-format cinematography, Ohlund participated in each Dolphins filming location. In Bimini he worked closely with Bob Talbot and the underwater unit filming the Atlantic spotted dolphins. He also worked alongside Greg MacGillivray in Abaco, Patagonia, California, and Hawaii to capture the topside footage for the film. He has worked on 30 large-format films as well as numerous feature films, television shows, and commercials. His varied assignments have had him filming from an airplane inside the eye of a hurricane, primitive tribes in the jungles of New Guinea and underwater reefs in the South Pacific.

Their 1995 documentary Great White Shark produced for National Geographic and the BBC was the highest grossing natural history film for all its venues. Atkins was Director of Photography for the Hawaiian sequences of Dolphins with Robin Williams, a segment of Into the Wild. In 1999, the Atkins completed a television documentary on wild dolphins for National Geographic, co-produced by the BBC Natural History Unit. Bob Talbot - Cinematographer for Dolphins
When marine photographer/cinematographer Bob Talbot began his career just 15 years ago, his dream was to capture on film his unique vision of whales and dolphins. His hope was that through his images, others would come to love these animals as he does, and therefore work to protect them. His marine mammal posters have sold by the millions, and his photographs have appeared in books and magazines such as National Geographic, Omni, Natural History and National Wildlife. Mr. Talbot has worked as cinematographer for television productions such as CBS's Dolphins, Whales and Us, and ABC's World Discovery episode, Beautiful Killers, as well as on Discovery Channel, PBS productions and several Cousteau Society specials. He filmed the wildlife sequences for the 1993 Warner Bros. hit Free Willy, and it's sequel, Free Willy 2: The Adventure Home. His most recent feature film work was in the Universal Pictures' release, Flipper. Filmed in the Bahamas, Flipper included Talbot's footage of dolphins in the wild. In 1993, he released Dolphins and Orcas, a 30-minute fine art tribute to the most enchanting creatures in the sea. For Dolphins, Talbot shot the underwater, wild dolphin footage in the Bahamas.
