Elysium, Antarctic 2010 OdysseyUshuaia – Weddell Sea (Antarctic Peninsula) – South Georgia - Ushuaia Invitated to the Expedition as a contributing photographer 10th February – 1st March 2010
In 2010, the heroic spirit of Shackleton lives on through a new team of explorers: to follow his footsteps, not for the glory of being the first to cross the Antarctic or the first to climb the highest mountain but to produce a momentous documentation of one of the most beautiful places on Earth.
The production will serve as a gift for future generations with an imaging epic that guarantees to inspire, invigorate and challenge for preservation of planet earth.
Elysium is a project that draws upon the world’s finest nature artists and scientists to document the vista, flora and fauna of the Antarctica Peninsula and South Georgia. The area is regarded as one of the most enchanting wilderness regions of our planet, yet volatile and under severe threat from the warming of the world’s climate. The production promises the most awesome and most stunning audio visual interpretation ever seen of Antarctica. |

Underwater Wide Angle Lens prototypeto be stated
After several years of underwater photography, and despite the high quality of the glass dome available on the market, I wanted a lens (not a dome) able to reproduce land quality images with respect of subject size, dimension, great deep of field on short distance shoot and a minimal focus distance, less than the most performing lens on the market.
To do so the only way was to launch a dedicated optical study, in order to obtain a specific underwater world fitting lens. The prototype, a wide angle lens (106° underwater) was build with a 6 optical components combined to one of the most bright Canon lens. |
