title
Light In the Underworld
A never ending labyrinth of tunnels and chambers decorated with incredible formations that took millennia to form and got preserved when the caves flooded 8000 years ago
Venturing into the caves to capture their beauty is a fine balance of diving and photo skills and risk management. Shooting even hours away from the closest entry, in pitch black conditions while you running out of gas.
But you get to see and capture unique landscapes that most people don't even know they exist
All the photos are 3 to 5 photos panorama stitches, shoot in 1/12 sec handheld
