the Book

The Ocean Photography Awards / Volume I is a beautiful and limited edition hardback coffee table book. The book contains all 100 images from the first year’s finalists. It is a book that will last a lifetime - as will the impressions made by the photographs contained within. 

the purpose

Photography plays a critical role in the fight for a healthier ocean - both as a source of inspiration and as a tool to inform. The Ocean Photography Awards - and this book - are an extension of Oceanographic Magazine's values: harnessing image-driven storytelling to connect with people - both ocean goers and non-ocean-goers - around the world. Some of the images within Volume I will make you scream with anger, others will fill your heart with joy.
