Featured Photographer: Christian Botella. Underwater Wildlife & Tropical Rainforest Photography

Christian Botella is a Underwater Wildlife & Tropical Rainforest Photographer based in Cairns Qld Australia. For the past 10 years Christian has been working as a professional underwater photographer operating his own business and supplying images to various tourist companies. His strengths are in the aquatic field: wide-angle, macro, fish behaviour and models. Living on the doorstep of the Great Barrier Reef and the World Heritage Wet Tropics allows Christian the opportunity to specialise in the marine wilderness, rainforest and remote landscapes of Tropical North Queensland, Australia.

Christian's interests are associated with nature and adventure. He has been diving, white water kayaking and bushwalking worldwide for the past 25 years in some of the world's most pristine, exotic and wild environments. His passion is to capture the wilderness and spirit of these unique places with his camera.

Christian has studied photography formally in France and America and has had exhibits in both countries. Being a specialist in underwater photography has led to being contracted by major tourist operators. He holds a current Underwater Photography Instructor rating.

Christian joined GlobalEye back in June 2009 and currently has over 1400  Underwater Wildlife & Tropical Rainforest Photography stock images listed in the Global Eye catalog. You can view Christian's Portfolio here or browse his Underwater Wildlife & Tropical Rainforest Photography website.
