Scubaverse UWP Winners Gallery: Giacomo Rossi
Each month we give the winner of the Scubaverse Underwater Photography competition the opportunity to show off a little more of their work in a gallery. The June winner was Giacomo Rossi and you can see his winning image at the top of this page.
What do you love about diving & underwater photography?
Underwater photography for me is my way to freeze with an image the emotion that I feel, with the purpose to transmit the same emotion to the person that looks at my image. My passion for the ocean and his inhabitants is growing day after day, and now, in our specific time as civilization on planet Earth, where the nature is challenged with major environmental changes induced by mankind, I feel the responsibility to transmit my love for the ocean with the hope to help the protection of this incredible blue planet. This is also the mission of my company Baja Underwater Expeditions, which offers personalized eco-tourism around the peninsula to experience all its most exciting residents and visitors up close and personal.
What equipment do you use?
I use a Sony mirrorless A7IV, recently upgraded from A6300, with MARELUX housing and accessories and Scuba Lamp D-MAX. I shot with the Canon 8-15 fisheye and Sigma MC-11 adapter with the Marelux dome 140mm with removable shades. This offers me the possibility to shot at 8mm underwater without any problem. I use also the Sony 28-60 with the Nauticam WWL-1, a super compact-quality option for the full frame Sony. For macro I use the Sony 90mm plus Subsea +10 close up lens with the amazing Blackwater Mini Flash with Snoot.
