A selection of the incredible underwater photographs taken by Anuar Patjane Floriuk, winner of the Geographic Traveler Photo Contest 2015.

Through his Underwater Realm series, the Mexican photographer takes us into the abyss to encounter sharks, whales, stingrays or dolphins, thanks to complex and captivating compositions, bathed in a beautiful light.

Some really impressive black and white photographs! It’s with his photograph Whale Whisperers, in which divers are encountering a whale and her little calf, that Anuar Patjane Floriuk earned the title of Traveler Photographer of the Year.
