TITLE: Wonderful Indonesia

Indonesia is as rich below the waves as above. These images are taken over the last 3 years diving the islands of Bali, Gili, Lombok, Komodo, Raja Ampat and Kalimantan. Indonesia has implemented some massive areas for marine parks and ocean conservation, but there is still a lot to be done. The aim was to use a black & white medium, a medium that is not often used in underwater photography, to draw attention to the subject and bring to life the character of the beings that live below the waves. It’s part of an ongoing project to try and showcase what we are protecting.

AUTHOR: Alfred Minnaar (South Africa)

South African born and raised, I grew up in a small town in the dusty Kalahari Desert. Beginning as a traveller and a hobbyist, as a young man I spent a decade traversing the natural world, eventually finding my way to the island paradise of Indonesia calling it home for the last 7 years.

This is where my passion for photography exploded and I turned a hobby into a full-time career photographing wildlife and people, combining my passions for travel, culture and photography

I am now a professional photographer, accomplished in portrait, landscape, travel and underwater photography.

Striving to capture images that captivate and inspire the imagination, I bring to life the enchanting underwater world in my own unique style hoping to tell captivating stories with my photography bringing awareness to a world that is in rapid decline.
