Photographers are passionate people. We tend to experience life with a camera attached to our hands, pointing toward the things that we love, in an almost desperate attempt to document it all before the moments pass us by.
One look at Kurt Arrigo’s photographs and one can quickly see that his passion is water. The backdrop of almost every one of his photos is water–whether underwater or above in a sailboat. He is widely acclaimed for his work in sailing photography, an interest that took off after photographing the 1992 America’s Cup in San Diego. He has since documented many international yachting events.
Kurt has also taken his passion for water down under – as in, under the surfaces. He has traveled internationally shooting underwater wildlife from the Galapagos Islands to the Great Barrier Reef and a published book of his home country of Malta, Malta: A Coastal Journey.

In addition to his work with water, Kurt also is the stills photographer for most of the international productions on Malta, working with A-List Hollywood actors and actresses. Check out more of Kurt Arrigo’s images on his website, 500px and Facebook.
