About Artist

Aiken Emmanuel Quipot

I began my journey in the ocean as a SCUBA Open Water Instructor in Negros Oriental, Philippines, guiding divers through the underwater world I love so deeply. Over time, that passion evolved into a new obsession - underwater photography. Drawn especially to macro photography, I became fascinated by the “invisible world” that comes alive through a lens. Today, I focus on capturing the small, intricate, and often overlooked details of marine life, revealing the beauty and wonder hidden in every dive.
