  • Ocean Photographer of the Year 2023. Overall Winner of the Ocean Photographer of the Year.Following the Taal Volcano eruption in the Philippines, the water column filled with particles from the stirred-up sediments. Navigating through the low visibility and dense fog during a blackwater dive, I found this female paper nautilus taking a ride on a drifting wooden stick. When I pressed the shutter, the particles reflected my light. The scene felt unusually serene following the natural disaster and reminds me of a fairytale set in a snowy night. As underwater photographers, we aim to shoot in clear water but this image reminds us that grains of sand, organic matter, or tiny organisms are integral parts of the underwater environment. I aim to accept their, Batangas Bay, Philippines.
