con­ser­va­ti­on.

Lorenzo Mittiga has been taking pho­to­graphs under­wa­ter since he was 15, and has worked full-time as an under­wa­ter pho­to­grapher and docu­men­ta­ry filmmaker for film and tele­vi­si­on since 1996. The more he engaged with the ocean as a habitat, the stronger his awareness and com­mit­ment to marine and nature con­ser­va­ti­on became. He is an Associate Fellow of the Inter­na­tio­nal League Con­ser­va­ti­on Pho­to­graph­ers and believes that pho­to­gra­phy is a powerful tool for science and con­ser­va­ti­on, capable of raising awareness and respect for nature among viewers.

The next adventure
awaits.

Lorenzo par­ti­cu­lar­ly enjoys show­ca­sing special habitats like large coral reefs, mangroves, and the Antarctic, and uses his work to advocate for the pre­ser­va­ti­on of these unique eco­sys­tems. He is currently working on several coral res­to­ra­ti­on projects, docu­men­ting their progress and results. His photos and films have won inter­na­tio­nal awards, have been published, and are featured in various major media outlets – an important step toward incre­asing awareness toward the sensitive marine ecosystem.

Thanks to the simple and intuitive operation of my entire housing system, I can fully con­cen­tra­te on my work — even in very chal­len­ging situa­tions, cold waters, or during sci­en­ti­fic expeditions.

More about

Lorenzo
Mittiga.

As a marine biologist, nature pho­to­grapher, and docu­men­ta­ry filmmaker, Lorenzo uses his work to tell visual stories. Based out of his home in Bonaire in the Dutch Caribbean, he spe­cia­li­zes in docu­men­ting con­ser­va­ti­on projects both under­wa­ter and on land. His award-winning images and films are regularly published in inter­na­tio­nal media and shown worldwide. When he’s not packing for his next expe­di­ti­on, the Italian native shares his expertise in workshops on under­wa­ter pho­to­gra­phy, film, and marine and nature conservation.
