Vanessa Torres Macho
Vanessa is an underwater photographer whose passion lies with shooting visually stunning locations, and colourful portrait images.
She always had a fascination for water since she was a kid but born and raised in Madrid, Spain, it was through her parent’s backyard pool that she began her underwater journey.
Art has been a recurring theme in her life, pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts as a young adult. She started shooting with a DSLR in the early 2000s. However, she desired more and her passion for the aquatic environment made her follow a scuba diving career. In 2006 she trained as a diving instructor, travelling the world, exploring remote locations which eventually landed her in Australia.
Finding once again her passion for photography she bought her first underwater camera setup in 2011 and never looked back.
Following her desire to take photos of the less travelled, she has undertaken advanced training to allow her access to caves and deep wrecks. She loves sharing her experiences through beautiful and dramatic scenes that portray the landscapes through her eyes.
In 2020, she added to her repertoire Aquatic Imaging Australia, a business which specialises in expeditions, underwater photography training, bespoke photoshoots and retail based in Sydney Australia. Her store caters for beginners, up and coming photographers through to professionals.
Since 2021 she has added adventure through weekend trips exploring the best dive locations in Australia, and her curated overseas expeditions. Vanessa has a deep desire to provide a unique experience for all of her clients, her goal to cater to the individual needs of each person.
