Award winning underwater photographic exhibition opens at Maritime Museum

Red_sea_yacht_c_trenque As part of its soon to be opened Under the Sea exhibition, the National Maritime Museum Cornwall is celebrating the work of three award winning underwater photographers.

From 28 January, Alex Mustard, multiple winner in the two most prestigious competitions for underwater photographers: the BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year and World Festival of Underwater Photography in Antibes, France, JP Trenque, winner of the BBC News Photographer of the Year and chair of the British Society of Underwater Photographers (BSoUP), and Mark Webster, silver and bronze winner at the CMAS World Championships, will have a number of their award winning images displayed within the new major exhibition showing man's exploits under the sea.

The British Society of Underwater Photographers was formed in 1967 and with over 200 members is the largest underwater photographic society in Britain. The Society is dedicated to encouraging and developing underwater photography in all its aspects, both film and digital. Its members vary from divers who have just started to take underwater photographs to eminent professionals who lead the world.

Talking about his work, Mark Webster says: "Having lived in Cornwall for over 30 years, it's a real privilege to have my work on display in Cornwall's Maritime Museum. As a well established photo-journalist, I've seen a lot of incredible events at sea and there is one image within the exhibition that instantly takes me right back to when it was taken. A basking shark was trapped in a gill net in Mounts Bay and the memory of photographing, rescuing and reviving this incredible creature will stay with me always and I hope visitors to this exhibition are as moved by my work as I have been taking the shots."

Alongside the images are objects chronologically charting the development of underwater photography. Discover the Calypsophot, developed for Jacques Cousteau's underwater research group which featured in the Bond thriller Thunderball, and admire an early Rolleiflex camera from 1951.
