MCM College : Underwater and Wildlife -
Through the Lens of Mike Korostelev, Award-winning Underwater and Wildlife Photographer
 
 
  
  
MCM College Fellow, Ms. Vivian Chaplin (ELC-FAH), exhibited the works of award-winning underwater and wildlife photographer, Mike Korostelev at the college’s pavilion. The images on display at the exhibition reveal various creatures that inhabit the world’s oceans, and natural habitats.
Vivian, who is an enthusiastic diver, described meeting Mike Korostelev as “an incredible opportunity to work with some of the best in underwater photography”.
Mike is based in Moscow, Russia, and uses photography to capture underwater beauty, as well as its inhabitants. His work captures large species of the underwater world like sharks, crocodiles, sea lions, seals, manatees (among many others).
With a voracious appetite for adventure, and a passion for nature, Mike participates in projects for the conservation and protection of the wildlife. His aim is to show ‘an unseen side’ of animals with a bad reputation; inculcate respect for wild animals; draw public attention to the negative human impact on wildlife; and most important of all to inform people of their responsibility for the preservation of wild animals.
Mike’s work has been featured on National Geographic Wild Magazine; Daily Mail; The Telegraph; and The Guardian.
His accolades include Asferico (International Nature Photography Competition); Golden Turtle (International Nature Photography Award); AdMe Photo Awards; and GDT European Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2015. |
