Alex Dawson took to Instagram to share about his big win and said he was ‘honored to have been given the award’.
Swedish photographer, Alex Dawson has been named as Underwater Photographer of the Year 2024 for his image ‘Whale Bones’. The image shows a diver beneath the Greenland ice sheet exploring the skeleton of a minke whale.
Alex Mustard, who chaired the judging panel of the awards told the BBC, "Whale Bones was photographed in the toughest conditions, as a breath-hold diver descends below the Greenland ice sheet to bear witness to the carcasses. The diver's suit and torch give it a 'visiting alien' feel. The composition flows effortlessly and takes your eye on the right journey to tell the story."
