Víctor Núñez
Underwater photographer, Tenerife
I was born in Tenerife, Canary Islands. I have been passionate about the sea since childhood, and started diving in 2009 and underwater photography in 2011, initially with a compact camera and now with a Nikon D850.
In 2012, I founded my website www.checkthesea.com, where I publish my pictures and describe, among other things, the different dives I have made in the Canary Islands. I have been interviewed several times by the press, radio and television, I have organised exhibitions and won awards in national and international competitions, including the following:
Spanish Underwater and Canary Islands Photography Championship, Canarian Photo Awards, Color Adwards, USA, Cimasub, San Sebastian, United Nations World Oceans Day, USA, World Shootout, Germany, Festival Embarque to Treb, France and many more.
I have been passionate about the sea since childhood.
I have also participated as a judge in regional championships, collaborated with the Colombian magazine Catorce6 and the magazine Buceadores, and written several doctoral theses on marine biology. A selection of my photographs is currently on display in the coastal areas of the municipality of San Cristóbal de La Laguna on my home island.
I am accompanied by Luchi González, an experienced diver. She is my underwater model and co-photographer. Together we make a great and successful team.
