The Botos, Spirits of the Amazon
Dive into the amber, mysterious waters of the Amazon's tributaries to meet the botos, the pink river dolphins emblematic of the flooded forests. The exhibition retraces the singular presence of these freshwater cetaceans, revealing a fragile intimacy between man and animal.
Two of these photographs were recognised in 2025 by the Wildlife Photographer of the Year (WPY) and Underwater Photographer of the Year (UPY) awards, celebrating the aesthetic and emotional power of this work.
