Finalist Fine Art Photographer of the Year

Gabriel Barathieu Mayotte

12°52.119´S 45°16.406´E

"I took this photo during the first test dive of a new rig - Canon R5 in a Seacam housing. It was also the first time I used a wide angle lens during a night dive," says photographer Gabriel Barathieu. "I was secretly hoping to meet a squid for long exposure tests with rear-curtain synchronisation. That's why I took the 14-35mm lens, to be closer to the subject. After 15 minutes of diving, I came face-to-face with this squid and spent 30 minutes having fun with long exposures and flashes in stroboscope mode."
