Teguh Tirtaputra achieved a high level of success in UnderwaterPhotography.com photo contest 2008.

medalThis photography contest is the longest running and one of the most prestigious online. If you want to make a name for yourself this is THE place to do it. Many other internationally acclaimed photographers have launched their photo careers here over the years.

Every January a panel of judges select the best images entered in our online photo contest from the previous year. Gold, silver, and bronze medals are awarded for the top three from each category in order of merit.

The judges comprise of industry professionals (and last year’s World Champ). They are unpaid, non-affiliated, and (of course) cannot enter themselves.

One of our medals is the reward for all the hard work Teguh Tirtaputra put in chasing those great shots in far-flung destinations. It's the most coveted prize because it says you succeeded in the most competitive environment there is, against the top talent of the moment. Teguh Tirtaputra was up against 12279 entries to get placed this year.

My Profile

Teguh Tirtaputra

I am from Indonesia
Member since: Sunday, February 3, 2008
Camera used right now is Canon EOS 400D with a Sea and Sea housing and a single YS-250 strobe. My fave dive site would be Manado, Lembeh and Bali. Heard about many good things for Papua and Wakatobi area around East Indonesia, will go there this year...

I definitely learn a lot from this site and highly recommend this for all UW photographers around the world, pros like Jeff De Guzman, Dejan Sarman and many others have become my mentor and motivator to me to be better and better photographer. Really appreciate your continuous support and looking forward to meet you in person someday

cheers,
