Welcome to My Underwater Photography Blog

Why all of this ?

I am writing this blog to share with you my passion for the underwater world. This passion began when I was just five years old and learned how to swim. This early fascination led me to pursue a master’s degree in oceanography, deepening my understanding of the vast and mysterious ocean and contributing to the preservation of marine life. Six years ago, I took my love for the ocean to the next level by starting freediving, which allowed me to witness firsthand the beauty and wonder beneath the waves. I began filming my encounters with an old GoPro, and gradually, I became more captivated by capturing photos of what I was seeing. This sparked my passion for underwater photography.

For me, underwater photography is not just about capturing a moment but also about the entire process behind it. It involves choosing the right angle, interacting with human models, and approaching animals without scaring them. Each picture tells a story, and it’s these stories that thrill me.

In this blog, I will share all of these experiences with you.
