Jacob Degee
Degee’s photographs are much more than eye-catching images with which wildlife photography is commonly associated. Although he photographs unpredictable nature, he has managed to work out his own way to organize photoshoots where the main object, composition and even symbols are carefully planned long before the trip to the chosen destination.Degee searches for wild models all around the world and never photographs animals outside their natural habitats. He waits for his „protgaonists” for days and then spends with them as much time as it is necessary to become acquainted and get used to the photographer’s presence. Thanks to this method, he can capture these animals up close, which is hardly ever - or in some case never - accomplished in underwater photography.
Jacob Degee has been a diver since he was 12. He is a graduate of the Academy of Photography in Warsaw and has been trained by dr Alexander Mustard MBE during the workshops in Indonesia, the Philippines and the Cayman Island. He specializes in underwater portraits, and his goal is to document species that have never been photographed from up close, such as the American crocodile or anaconda.
