I’m very flattered for receiving…
… a gold medal in the 2011 PX3 PRIX DE LA PHOTOGRAPHIE PARIS photo award in the category „PROFESSIONAL / Advertising / Catalogues” with my photo series “Submerged” consisting of 3 underwater images. More than 4.000 entries were submitted.
Here comes the official press release: PX3_WINNERS-PRESSRELEASE
There will be a book published in early 2012 with all the winning works.
I am really overwhelmed getting the chance diving into the freediving scene.
Marco, the chief of Only One Apnea Center in Sharm El-Sheikh/Egypt and Andrea Zuccari, the Swiss Apnoe champion were teaching me – literally – some breath-taking techniques from which I never heard before.
We found perfect locations all over the hotel resort as we are almost alone to ourselves. Not to mention the underwater reef scenery and crystal clear water quality accompanied by a huge fish variety.
Next week I’ll be covering Anna’s world record attempt of 130m.
There will be underwater, lifestyle and portrait images as well as settings with her tandem partner Andrea Zuccari with whom she gained the tandem world record a couple of weeks ago. The clients are german and international lifestyle, economy and sport magazines.
Here come some first impressions, making-of’s etc:
