Andreas Franke

The Austrian photographer and artist Andreas Franke gained international recognition through his underwater projects "The Sinking World" and "Plastic Ocean".

In 2010, he combined his passion for diving with his photographic vision and opened the world’s first underwater photo exhibition on the wreck of the USNS Vandenberg off Key West, Florida. His works are created as elaborately composed montages: underwater photographs of sunken ships are combined with studio-staged scenes.

His works have been exhibited in numerous galleries and museums across Europe and the United States.
