UPY 2019 Wide Angle - Highly Commended
'Princess of the Underworld'
Thomas Heckmann
Back in Mexico in 2018, we did a scuba dive in the cenote Tajma-Ha. During this dive, I found this amazing place and the idea for a model shot was born. My idea was "A model snooted by nature" with a touch of external light for the cave. All credit to the beautifull model Sonja and the safety diver. These two did a fantastic job and made this shot possible. Don't try this without a local guide and an experienced safety diver with "full cave certification"...
Judge's comment: This extraordinary image resulted from the right idea, the right time, the right model and the right team. It has a mesmerisingly haunting quality.
