Tatiana Gonnason

I graduated from Odessa, Ukraine with a degree in Marine Science.

I lived and studied in Poland and Germany before moving to Anchorage, Alaska and finally to Maui, Hawaii. Yoga, Reiki, and meditation were always part of my life, but my first encounter with the Big Blue Ocean and free diving captivated me forever.

Underwater photography and free diving are my passions, a source of inexhaustible beauty and inspiration.

My friends call me the “Octopus Whisperer” as I spend many hours photographing the amazing octopus in the wild.

What started as a hobby, continues to grow into something greater each time I dive into this other universe - the Ocean. 

I am very happy to share my passion and love of the ocean’s beauty, to open a small window for those who have never experienced this other BLUE WORLD, and maybe give them some motivation and inspiration to explore it.

My photos are for sale and are printed on aluminum, acrylic or canvas and ready for display. If you are interested, please contact me at:
