Erika Antoniazzo achieved a high level of success in UnderwaterPhotography.com photo contest 2008.

This photography contest is the longest running and one of the most prestigious online. If you want to make a name for yourself this is THE place to do it. Many other internationally acclaimed photographers have launched their photo careers here over the years.

Every January a panel of judges select the best images entered in our online photo contest from the previous year. Gold, silver, and bronze medals are awarded for the top three from each category in order of merit.

The judges comprise of industry professionals (and last year’s World Champ). They are unpaid, non-affiliated, and (of course) cannot enter themselves.

One of our medals is the reward for all the hard work Erika Antoniazzo put in chasing those great shots in far-flung destinations. It's the most coveted prize because it says you succeeded in the most competitive environment there is, against the top talent of the moment. Erika Antoniazzo was up against 12279 entries to get placed this year.

My Profile

Erika Antoniazzo

I am from Switzerland Member since: Saturday, July 10, 2004

I started uw photography using a Nikonos V and took pictures with it on and off for about 12 years. Then it flooded again (I flooded 3 in total!) and I decided to go digital with no regrets. I used to have an Olympus C5050 with external macro and wide angle lens and an Inon strobe. Just recently my husband and I bought a Nikon D200 with S&S housing and 2 S&S strobes and 105mm lens as well as a Canon 350D with an Ikelite housing, 1 Ikelite and 1 Inon strobe and a 105mm lens. We both use both cameras in turn and it really is a great improvement once again although a lot harder to use.... I run a divecenter in malaysia and take my pictures mainly there, but every year I take a diving holiday somewhere else to take some different photos. If you want to see more of my pictures you can have a look at our website: website
