PHOTOGRAPHY

For the second Instagram take-over of formerly OLYMPUS, now OM SYSTEM, we took visitors to the Caribbean. We followed in the footsteps of Spanish conquerors and Dutch colonizers - right in the heart of the Caribbean Sea - to Curaçao. A photographic foray above and below water with lots of photos and colorful stories.

 

Just before Christmas, OLYMPUS visionary Thomas Adorff welcomed us to his studio for a creative and photographic review of the year. With other guests, we reviewed the year and presented our highlight pictures from 2021. In addition to interesting conversations, there was also a lot of technology news to discuss.

 

On Curaçao we took advantage of the moment and entered new territory. As an underwater photographer team, we portrayed the colorful bird life of the Caribbean island. In addition to Trupial, Wara Wara and small hummingbirds, the focus was on the OLYMPUS M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 300 mm/4 IS PRO, the professional lens for all bird photographers.

 

As a team of passionate underwater photographers and OLYMPUS visionaries, we had the opportunity to take over the Instagram account of OLYMPUS Cameras for 6 days to coincide with World Oceans Day. Here we were able to show the community life under water and what is possible with the cameras below the water surface.

 

The camera brand OLYMPUS, which has been in business for more than 100 years, has inspired countless photographers worldwide. A milestone was the OM series, which set new standards with its compact dimensions, low weight and great design. From now on, the new products will sail under the OM SYSTEM flag. We look forward to what's to come!

 

The Oberstdorfer Fotogipfel, Europe's highest photo festival with international and national personalities from the photo scene. As part of our “Oceans” exhibition, we take visitors on a journey into mystical underwater worlds, to ghosts and to brightly glowing coral gardens. Due to the Corona crisis, the organizers had to postpone the originally planned date to September 23-27, 2020.
