About Artist

Fabi Fregonesi

Fabi Fregonesi is an underwater photographer whose passion for the ocean and visual storytelling has led her beyond her background in advertising to become a globally recognized name in underwater photography. With more than 15 years of diving experience and capturing the underwater world through her lens since 2012, her work has been featured by important media such as National Geographic and BBC Brasil, and she has been recognized in some of the most important underwater contests in the world. She built a solid career in the corporate world but in 2024 decided to make a career transition and focus exclusively in photography. Through her images, Fabi seeks to inspire awe for the marine world and raise awareness of its beauty and fragility.
