 | The DAN Europe Photocontest as we know it has come to an end. Our Editorial Board is currently working on a renewed version: in the meantime, all underwater pictures received will be published in the Portfolio section of Alert Diver. You can mail your photos to portfolio@alertdiver.eu
Our kudos to the last winner of DAN Europe Photocontest Andrey Nekrasov, who won two editions (2008-2009 and 2011-12). Independent photographer and journalist, Andrey writes about diving and his travels, cooperating with different world journals.
Born in 1971 in Bezhetsk, Tver area (Russia), he moved to Odessa (Ukraine), on the Black Sea coast. In 1985 he started his apprenticeship in underwater photography; the following year, he received his professional diving training at V.S.A.A.A.F. (Volunteer Society of Assistance to Air forces, Army and Fleet) in Odessa. In 1989, he became Instructor of underwater sports.
Until 2008, Andrey used a Canon EOS-100 camera with housing which he himself custom-made. |
From then on, he started shooting with the help of a digital camera Nikon D300 with SEA&SEA camera housing. Lens: Nikon 10.5mm fisheye, Nikon 12-24mm, Nikon 60mm MACRO, Tokina 10-17mm fisheye and Flash: Subtronic Mega Color and Inon-Z240 are used for his underwater photography. He uses a Nikon 24-85mm and a Nikon 70-300mm to pursue land photography.
Readers of Alert Diver and active DAN members can enjoy Andrey's latest picture, used as cover of our Magazine – Winter Issue 2011 and of the official DAN Members' card for the year 2013.
