Lawrence Alex Wu Underwater Photographer |
As one
of the world’s leading internationally acclaimed underwater photographers
with compact cameras, Alex has gained over 18 international awards and recognition from prestigious underwater film festivals and photo
contests around the world. His work has been broadcasted, published in magazines and exhibited in countries such as Australia, Brazil, Canada,
Chicago, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Spain and Switzerland
at major cities such as London, Bangkok, Athens, Prague, Cape Town and
Chicago. All his underwater photography has been produced only from digital
compact cameras. He
gained his passion for diving in Canadian Pacific waters and became a PADI
Scuba instructor in 1996, but in 2003, he dived into underwater photography
with the digital camera revolution and has never come up for air since.
Having shot in cold water, the tropics, low visibility diving, conservation
and research diving, he has moved into the underwater photo journalism realm
with a devotion to the oceanic environment. Understanding
the potential for shooting underwater with compact cameras, he has translated
his experiences, expertise and know-how of shooting with digital compacts into workshops which he teaches mainly throughout Asia in English, Cantonese and
Mandarin. As well, he continues to strive for the well being of our oceans
and to help preserve and improve its conditions. "Our
oceans are still a world of mystery despite human advances, with 98% (NOAA)
of it still to be discovered and protected. As a photographer, I feel it’s
one of my roles to stop people lost amongst our chaos and bring the wonderful
and tragic realities of nature to them through my imagery; to make them aware
and realize..." Color and light take on new
sensations through a lens when combined with water and modern imagery
techniques expressing a totally different art form. Alex specializes in creating underwater
images as well as multi-media content to electrify the senses and introduce
people to a world from our ocean depths. His work ranges from portraits to
artistic interpretations of ocean wildlife and seascapes to conservation
efforts to save our seas. |
