UPY  Portrait - Highly Commended
'Sea Soul'
Fabio Iardino

This image was taken during a competition day of the Italian Championship Underwater Photography on Isola D'elba. It is an image-overlay of two shots both taken underwater: the first is the model's profile (using 60mm lens), and the second is the marine environment using 60mm + Nauticam MWL1. It is a picture that was thought and tested some time before. My model and I did some tests to prepare the shot to perform in the competition.
This type of effect is very common in portrait photography, and I wanted to try to recreate the same effect completely underwater.

Judge's comment: A beautiful, artistic image. The positioning of the underwater elements within the face of the model are so well judged. Would have finished much higher if we’d not had a similar image in a previous edition. - Alex Mustard
