UWP: EITAN BEN ZVI (Israel)

Eitan Ben Zvi

I was born by the sea, at Tel-Aviv Israel on 1965, and from age 4 I liked to swim….I even won some swimming contests. From that early point, all my life where around water and the big ocean.
I made first dive with mask and snorkel on age 10.
My true passion to the ocean drove me to become a scuba diver, and discover a new magic world….
From there to become an underwater photographer the way was very short.

Underwater Photography allows me to reflect and share all the magic sights, coolers  and interesting amazing sea creatures, to the upper world.

For me, underwater photography combines adrenaline from discovering new unexpected situations that are very challenging to "freeze" and also great passion
I hope you will find my photos interesting and like them too

UWP: JAN WENGER (Dubai)

JAN WENGER
Since 2009, Jan has been living in Dubai, working in Marketing & Communications. This is where he discovered scuba diving for himself, and what began as a casual hobby quickly became his number one passion.
Today Jan is one of the most active underwater photographers with over 1,000 dives in the region, spending most of his free time exploring the underwater world of Oman and the United Arab Emirates. Oman in particular has a special place in Jan’s heart; with the diving industry in its infancy and most dive sites still undiscovered, this beautiful country holds unlimited secrets for underwater enthusiasts. 
Jan’s favorite diving locations in the region include the northern “Musandam” peninsula and a group of islands 20km off the coast from the Omani capital Muscat called “Daymaniyat Islands”. Both areas are extremely rich on marine live and offer photographers plenty of macro and wide angle opportunities.
As a previous winner of the Emirates Diving Association Digital Online competition, Jan is always keen on growing the awareness and interest for underwater photography within the local diving community. He is currently working on a few related projects in cooperation with local dive centers and other underwater photographers, including a guide covering his favorite dive sites in Oman.
Below are some examples of Jan’s work in the region.

UWP: DANIELE CORSINI (Italy)

DANIELE CORSINI

It born in Palermo in 1970, but has always lived in Trapani.

As a child the sea is for him a daily destination, later a passion for marine fauna and flora will push to biological studies.

Meanwhile the father painter draws the love of art and the charm of the picture.

Fishing and underwater hunting (the first plea in contact with the sea) will soon leave the place to the underwater photography ... primal instinct all'incontenibile aesthetic contemplation.

The thrill of catching a prey is transposed in the form and color laid down in the instant of a click!

However if Daniel does not go to the sea, the sea goes to Daniele...  

DANIELE CORSINI

Nasce a Palermo nel 1970, ma da sempre vive a Trapani, estremità occidentale della Sicilia, protesa a scindere Mediterraneo e Tirreno.

Sin da piccolo il mare è per lui una meta quotidiana, più tardi la passione per fauna e flora marine lo spingeranno agli studi biologici.

Nel frattempo dal padre pittore attinge l'amore per l'arte e le suggestioni dell'immagine.

La pesca per lui e la caccia subacquea, primo motivo di contatto col mare, lasceranno presto il posto alla fotografia... Dall'istinto primordiale all'incontenibile contemplazione estetica.

L'emozione della cattura di una preda si traspone nelle forme e nei colori fissati nell'istante di un click!

Peraltro se Daniele non va al mare, il mare va a Daniele… acquariofilo, dal piccolo ghiozzo sul comodino alla fauna tropicale in salotto.
