UWP: WOWIE CAI




























WOWIE CAI - Cai Songda

I'm Cai Songda and I'm an underwater photographer. I've been engaged with underwater photography for a few years now but outside of it I am actually in the jewelry business. Being in the fashion industry, I believe that I have developed a sensitivity towards anything eye catching. With my background as a jeweller, diving became a really unique experience for me. Having seen so many precious things above the sea, I came to realize that the preciousness that nature offers far surpasses that of what I have already seen. This made me really fall in love with underwater photography and I believe that as the water gets darker, their beauty is revealed more and more that's why I take black-water photography with much enthusiasm. When shooting on blackwater it feels as if the jet black water becomes my canvass and the various sea creatures that decorate them are the jewels of the deep - Indeed I have found a great treasury in the seas.

UWP: DANIEL KOELLIKER






















DANIEL KOELLIKER
Daniel lives in Switzerland and has been diving for 17 years. He fell in love with the beauty of the underwater world immediately and was fascinated by the behaviour of the animals and the variety of colours and creatures.
Daniel began taking photos underwater in Papua New Guinea in 2001 and it quickly became his passion. He was named "2006 European Wildlife Photographer of the Year" in the underwater category and "2009 Runner-Up European Wildlife Photographer" in the same category.
He has had the opportunity to present his work in several exhibitions in different places, which was a great way for him to share his work with the world.
More of his work can be seen on www.dkoelliker.ch
