Turtle T-shirt
(Mens)
Ocean Photographer of the Year (OPY) has collaborated with sustainable surf brand, Rapanui, to connect two distinct artforms, photography and illustration, all while raising money for the ocean. Rapanui's in-house illustrators have picked a selection of some of OPY2023’s world-class photography to graphically interpret. Their challenge: to turn each photograph into a wearable piece of art, without losing the essence of the original image.
This T-shirt is an interpretation of Renee Capozzola's beautiful shot of a turtle in Hawaii. Renee's photograph was part of her 10-image portfolio that finished second in the Ocean Portfolio category (check it out here!). Renee has nominated the People's Fund of Maui as her ocean charity, making every sale of this particular T-shirt a fundraiser for the organisation courtesy of donations made by Ocean Photographer of the Year.
