Vanessa Mignon got her first SLR camera at the end of 2009 and a few months later bought an underwater housing. Since then she has been very fortunate to travel to remote locations and witness amazing wildlife spectacles. During those trips she met passionate people committed to protect those creatures and their environments. Their devotion was inspiring. Vanessa became very keen on sharing the beauty of the world around us and hopefully playing a part in protecting it.

She is a member of the Ocean Artists Society and an Ambassador for the Undersea Soft Encounter Alliance. She hopes that sharing her photography and experiences can inspire others and increase peoples’ awareness of how diverse and beautiful nature is, but also how essential it is to protect it. She has been published in several magazines across the world, and ranked in international competitions. She runs wildlife tours, including trips to swim with whales, sharks and dolphins.
