Now open at Seaworks in Williamstown for a limited time, Ocean Photographer of the Year exhibition is more than a celebration of marine beauty — it’s a stark reminder of what we stand to lose. Through the lenses of the world’s leading ocean photographers, this internationally acclaimed exhibition captures the breathtaking, fragile, and threatened beauty of life beneath the waves.
From the haunting image of a polar bear with a plastic bag caught in its mouth to the silent majesty of coral spawning in the moonlight, every photograph tells a story — not just of the ocean, but of us. Because the fate of our seas is tied to our own. The climate crisis, overfishing, pollution — these aren’t distant threats. They’re here. They’re now. And they’re affecting every breath we take, every drop we drink, and every bite we eat.
“People often say this is the most beautiful exhibition they’ve ever seen,” says Glenn Jones, Seaworks Executive Officer. “But what makes it unforgettable is the emotional punch behind that beauty. You feel wonder — and then you feel urgency.”
With Australia’s vast coastline and deep cultural ties to the ocean, Seaworks is proud to host this poignant and powerful exhibition in partnership with Oceanographic Magazine UK and luxury Swiss watchmaker, Blancpain.
This is a space for reflection. A spark for action. A reminder that the ocean doesn’t need saving — we do.
The exhibition is open now, but only for a limited time — don’t miss your chance to experience the world’s most extraordinary ocean imagery, right here in Williamstown.
