Dmitry Kokh is an IT entrepreneur and a wildlife photographer - specializing in large marine animals.
It all started with a serendipitous underwater shot in 2017, since then his travels have taken him to remote corners of Russia (Kamchatka, the Solovetsky Islands, Baikal, Chukotka), as well as: Antarctica, Norway, the Red Sea, Cuba, Africa, South and Southeast Asia. His passion started in childhood, but it was scuba diving that opened up a whole new curious world, which he continues to explore through his work. The goal is to capture images that reflect energy and full immersion, focusing on storytelling and bringing awareness of our planet’s natural heritage.
