Whale sharks 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 Max Holba's beautiful shot of whale sharks in the Philippines. Max's photograph was Highly Commended in the Human Connection Award: People & Planet Ocean category (check it out here!). Max has nominated Thresher Shark Indonesia as his 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.
