Michele du Plooy

United States

Hi! I'm Michele, an underwater photographer and scuba/freediver. Originally from South Africa, I’ve spent most of my life in Canada and the United States. I moved to the Florida Keys four years ago and haven't looked back since. I love traveling to remote destinations to photograph unique wildlife and explore the natural beauty our world has to offer at any chance I get! As someone deeply immersed in the world beneath the waves, my photography aims to capture moments in the ocean as art. Each frame is composed to evoke emotions and tell stories that resonate beyond the surface. My goal is for people to experience the beauty our oceans hold, in hopes that this will inspire them to protect the incredible ecosystems on our planet both above and below the surface.
