Welcome to Morten Bjørn Larsen's UW-gallery
July - 2022
A nice surprise to come home to! 😊 One of my images of an unusually large gathering of moon jellyfish, which we saw in Denmark in 2020, won 1 place in wide angle without model, in the Nordic Championships in underwater photography. The Finish dive magazine Sukeltaja has a double spread this month with that image and a little text I wrote about the story behind the image.

June - 2021
During the times of Covid 19 many divers have spent more time in local waters than usual. The award winning international dive magazine X.Ray Magazine has picked up on the idea and is therefore looking into some destinations that normally aren't on the top of the wish list for divers around the world. In this issue they are running a big theme of what it is like to visit and dive in my home waters of Denmark. I'm excited to contribute with the Øresund & Isefjord feature!
March - 2021
While we wait for the world to open up again René Lipmann and the team from the Dutch dive magazine Duiken tempt us with stories from incredible dive destinations.
