Planète mer
Starting from the submerged reefs of the Principality of Monaco, the "PLANETE MER" Exhibition invited visitors on a journey to explore the Azores, the Red Sea, and the Indian Ocean, crossing the Komodo National Park, before returning to the Mediterranean Sea. This allows you to observe numerous similarities in fish families and animal species characterized by different sizes and colors.

Alongside his partner Sylvie Laurent, a diver and model, they are developing a different perspective on underwater photography. Beyond being observers, Olivier Jude begins to explore the idea of human interaction at the heart of underwater biodiversity. Clothing created by Valérie Jude, a stylist and creator of unique underwater outfits who is also his wife, and scenographic games are implemented to blend and harmonize with the natural beauty of the underwater space.

He also explores a series of photos showcasing the richness of our marine environment. The images, both in protected areas and the wrecks of the Red Sea, serve as a perfect illustration of their shooting technique aimed at advocating for the essential protection of maritime heritage.

These unique, unretouched captures reveal an unsuspected underwater richness and a very special dialogue between humans, marine fauna, and flora, marked by deep respect.

The "Planète Mer" Exhibition with these mostly unpublished photographs was held from June 3 to August 31, 2023, in the Gallery of the Fishermen's Parking in Monaco.
