We are so lucky to live in a county like Devon! With so many areas of natural beauty, it’s no wonder it has inspired photographers for decades.

In this year’s ‘Underwater Photographer of the Year 2020 Yearbook (UPY),’ Devon is showcased in all its colourful glory! UPY always aims to showcase the diversity of disciplines and photographic styles that comprise ‘underwater photography’ and we love seeing photographers pushing the technical and artistic boundaries of the genre.
