Isle Of Wight Photographer's Underwater Shot Up For National Award

Photos from Sienna Anderson/Soul Photography.

An Isle of Wight photographer's underwater picture has been shortlised for a national award.

Sienna Anderson's photo of a Mermaid Gin bottle is in the Commercial: Product category at the 2021 British Photography Awards 2021.

The photo is one of 380 to be nominated - and Sienna needs the public's backing to take home the top prize.

She said:

"I am absolutely delighted to have my Mermaid Gin photo shortlisted in the British Photography Awards 2021... Please vote for me in the people's choice, my category is Commercial Product and is one of 20."

The picture is supporting marine conservation charity Surfers Against Sewage.

It was taken inside a fish tank and a diver's oxygen tank, fixed with fine rubber tubing, was used to create the effect of bubbles coming out of the bottle.  

Sienna says she chose Mermaid Gin, which is produced at the Isle of Wight Distillery in Ryde, because of its environmentally-friendly ethos.
