Finalist Adventure Photographer of the Year
Daniela Tommasi Australia
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.
