Andreas Franke

Andreas Franke is known for his talent for pushing the boundaries of photography, but diving is his passion.
In 2010 Franke merged talent and passion with his long-term dream of an extraordinary art project, resulting in the opening of the world‘s first underwater photo exhibit on the USNS Vandenberg, a shipwreck off the coast of Key West, Florida.
The response of visitors and the international media confirmed the wide spread fascination with the idea and more projects followed.
