Wet & Great: Underwater Photographer of the Year, 2019

Underwater Photographer of the Year 2019
Judged the International Photographer of the Year in the 2019 competition, photographer Richard Barnden caaptured the last moments of a parrotfish – and a  clutch of frenzied sharks that zoomed right past him – in “The Gauntlet.”

WINNERS FOR THE UNDERWATER PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR’S 2019 COMPETITION have been announced and as usual, the results are stunning.

Drawing entries from around the world, the United- Kingdom-based group judges photos in eight categories – Wide-Angle, Macro, Portrait, Compact, Behavior, Black & White and Up and Coming – plus three British Waters categories, Wide Angle, Macro and Compact.

Here are several samples from this year’s winners.

Fabio Iardino’s “Fast cuttlefish” was the 2019 macro winner.
François Baelen’s “Gentle Giants” was the winner in the wide-angle category.
