Photographer- Nicholas Samaras


Samaras is recognised as one of the best underwater photographers of all time. In the early stages of his career he spent lots of his time competing in small competitions in Greece. Over time he began to win the competitions and his skill began to become recognised. Today he has won countless awards including The Greek National Underwater Photography Championship. Samaras photographs animals underwater but also the underwater caverns and plants that are found at the bottom of the seabed. Most of his photography is unedited as he believes that photos should be appreciated as the photographer saw them when they were first took. His work has been published in magazines and articles for National Geographic, Beyond Blue Web magazine and many others, showing his wide influence on the world of underwater photography. Samaras also photographs divers and athletes in the aquatic professions.
In my opinion Samaras is a brilliant photographer, his ability to capture underwater shadows and reflections is something that I admire greatly and the use of colour in his photography is stunning.
