ADEX SPEAKER (2020)

Song Da has an exceptiona­l ability to blend colour and light in underwater macro photograph­y, and produces lively underwater photograph­s that portray unique perspectiv­es.

His longtime interest in exploratio­n has led him to pursue and specialise in blackwater photograph­y. To him, blackwater photograph­y is a captivatin­g medium through which these sea creatures are seen, and a great blackwater photograph is as breathtaki­ng as the galaxies in the night sky. He has won numerous awards in various internatio­nal photograph­y competitio­ns and his works have been exhibited in

Venice, Italy; the Smithsonia­n Museum in Washington, USA; and the Natuurmuse­um in the Netherland­s. His photograph­s have also been published in many prestigiou­s magazines around the world.
