Photo of the Month: Sea Life Aquarium

Client: SEA LIFE London Aquarium / Agency: Stripe Communications

Every year SEA LIFE London Aquarium sends a team of divers down into the tanks to clear the glass, and this year we were there to capture this exciting activity as it took place. The whole process takes 16 aquarists and specialist staff around a week to clean the 63 displays at the attraction, which are home to more than 6,000 sea creatures. This photo of one of the divers cleaning the glass was shot on a fish-eye lens (no pun intended), which gives the impression of the diver being inside a glass goldfish bowl!

These pictures were hugely successful making print in several national newspapers, including The Times, Daily Telegraph, The Sun and a whole page spread in the Daily Mirror. It’s always great to see so much coverage!
