Wildlife / Animals nominee

Atlantic Spotted Dolphins swimming wild and free in the Bahamas. Interacting with these highly intelligent cetaceans in their natural environment is an unforgettable experience. They are incredibly fast and acrobatic, making encounters thrilling, but unpredictable and challenging to photograph. While freediving with them, I aimed to capture their playful spirit and beauty in the wild—a stark contrast to the unfortunate reality of dolphins in captivity. As I positioned myself near the seafloor, a group separated from the larger pod and swam towards me in graceful symmetry, allowing me to capture our moment of connection and nature in perfect balance.
