AUTHOR
Guillaume Néry, born on the 11th of July 1982 in Nice, is a French freediving champion, specialized in constant weight, which is the queen of all freediving disciplines (descent and ascent using only fin propulsion). He broke the freediving world record four times and won the world champion title twice.
In 2015, he stopped competing after accidentally making the deepest freedive in history to -139m, following a mistake from the organizers, while trying to break his fifth world record to -129m.
Nowadays, Guillaume still trains daily and dives deep, but focuses his energy on transmitting his passion to others. He travels around the world to give workshops, clinics, lectures, shoot movies which record millions of views and direct photo shoots.
Guillaume is a big fan of photography. For his personal challenge One Day, One Picture, he photographed his life daily and shared an intimate diary with his audience for more than 2 years. Today, he continues his photographic exploration through underwater photos of his travels. Some of them are very popular. The Yellow Corner Gallery sells some of his shots, and Guillaume made his first reports for major magazines such as Geo, during his Galapagos expedition.
