~ Your Window to the Underwater World ~
Welcome to Blue Elements Imaging and Exploration! Tanya Griffin Houppermans is an internationally acclaimed award-winning underwater image maker, shark naturalist, scientific diver, and explorer who advocates for the ocean and its inhabitants through conservation and education.
On July 27 Tanya will be speaking at the Science Museum of Virginia in Richmond! This event will also be available to view virtually for those not in attendance. More details coming soon!
The winners of the 2021 World Shootout have been announced, and Tanya has been awarded First Place in the Sharks of the World category! For this category, participants are judged on a group of three shark images. Below are the winning images that Tanya took of sand tiger sharks off the coast of North Carolina. Tanya was also awarded First Place in the Sharks category in the World Shootout in 2015 and 2017, making this the third time she has taken the top spot! Congratulations to all of the finalists and winners of this year's competition!
