Full Frame Retrospective 2018

Article Info

Wetpixel’s Full Frame in 2018 has featured stunning imagery that is as varied as it is beautiful. From the amazing macro photography of Anilao to shocking images of bycatch or from great white sharks to Norwegian wide angle. Geographically, the feature has had imagery from the fresh water of Mexico’s cenotes, the green temperate water of the UK and California and the coral delights of Australia, Papua New Guinea, and Cuba.

The body of work shared in these features is simply stunning. Wetpixel is incredibly fortunate to have such talented contributors who are willing to showcase their images on Full Frame. Our heartfelt thanks to them.

I look forward to another year of exciting and inspiring images in 2019!
