Finalist Adventure Photographer of the Year

Daniela Tommasi Australia

34°4'49.2096" S 115°0'12.9681" E

Two surfers walk towards a favourite surf break on the Western Australian coast. Waves and rip currents create intricate, lace-like patterns in the water. The small figures reveal the scale of the landscape and the respect and adventurous spirit needed to enter such a powerful environment. These coastal waters are also frequented by large pods of dolphins, reminding us that this is a place shared by both people and wildlife.

Daniela Tommasi is a Brazilian–Australian photographer whose work is shaped by a lifelong connection to the ocean and a background in Oceanography. Drawn to the sea long before she picked up a camera, she creates images that reveal its ever-changing character, inviting viewers to experience the natural world with a renewed sense of wonder.
