    Honorable Mention in Nature / Underwater

The very first whale shark in the life of a diver - very emotional moment. The dive master you see on the picture dove almost 10 years on this dive spot and never saw this majestic specie there up until now.

Alexej was born in Kharkiv, Ukraine. He obtained a diploma in rocket engineering and got photography education in the Kyiv School of Photography. In his artworks Alexej is trying to bring underwater photography to the new level - he investigates the water surface from the deep, uses allegories to show the underwater world like and the world above water or even like a cosmos. Alexej's education and philosophy of life define his style of photography: the photographs depict the beauty of the underwater world and the horrors of man-made ocean pollution.
