UPY 2019 Black & White - Highly Commended
'The Alien'
Pekka Tuuri
I have shot freedivers under the ice before. As a matter of fact, my model Ms.Johanna Nordblad is the Guinness record holder in ice diving. With such a competent model it was easy to take this shot. Everything was planned before the photo shoot, including the security plan. However, there was a little obstacle there, namely the temperature was -17 centigrade. Once in the water we divers could not come up to the surface again to discuss as everything would have frozen instantly!
Judge's comment: So Atmospheric which works very well in mono. The top half is bright and alluring and the triangle shaped hole in the snow is a real eye catcher. The divers pose with a soft understated backlight finishes this off.
