Michaela Skovranova, Australia
Based in Australia, Michaela Skovranova is a world-renowned Slovakian born artist working in the field of photography and film. Her work focuses on capturing intimate environmental and human stories with a speciality in underwater photography.
World-renowned underwater photographer Michaela Skovranova (@mishku) travelled to Port Lincoln, Baird Bay and Rapid Bay in South Australia to explore the wild landscapes and unique flora and fauna of the Great Australian Bight.
The Great Australian Bight is a pristine wilderness, home to a critical whale sanctuary, tight-knit coastal communities, hundreds of kilometres of towering cliffs and more unique species than the famous Great Barrier Reef. But the beautiful Bight is at risk. Big oil, led by Norwegian company Statoil, has eyes on the Bight. If their plans go ahead, the threats from an oil spill, deafening seismic blasting and pollution are all too real.
Greenpeace has been a pioneer of photo activism for more than 50 years, and remains committed to bearing witness and exposing environmental injustice through the images we capture.
