Finalist Conservation (Hope) Photographer of the Year

Brandon Berry Raja Ampat, Indonesia

0°03'14.8"S 130°04'27.8"E

"I went to Raja Ampat with high expectations and the goal of getting photographs of colourful soft corals and schools of sweetlips," says Berry. "I really didn’t think that I would ever get all of them in one frame. The strong current did not make capturing the photo easy; I had to kick my fins away from the fish while shooting back at them. It was challenging, but I am constantly overwhelmed by the colours and the sheer amount of life in this image. I think it encapsulates the essence of Raja Ampat."
