About Artist

Joaquin Fregoni

I was born in Argentina in 1982 and have been living in French Polynesia since 2019. The ocean has always been my place of connection and inspiration, and over the years it has become the center of my life and my work. As a diver and freediver, I spend countless hours in the water documenting whales, dolphins, sharks, and other marine life. Through photography, I try to share not only what I see, but also the emotions and fragility I feel when I am close to these animals. My aim is to create images that speak of beauty, respect, and the deep bond between humans and the ocean.
