Jorn Ari achieved a high level of success in UnderwaterPhotography.com photo contest 2010.

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 Jorn Ari 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. Jorn Ari was up against 10197 entries to get placed this year.

On a trip to the Maldives in 2007 he brought his first underwater camera. It was an Olympus compact camera and he shot anything that moved underwater.

The choice was not surprisingly an Olympus, specifically E-420. Jorn Ari makes about 50-100 dives a year in various places and he brings his camera on nearly every dive.
