See the beauty of the ocean through the eyes of the youth in Ganden Medved-Po's newly launched photography book, 'Life Below Water' for the benefit of WWF
The ocean is a vast body of water that holds many stories and secrets. Its depth is explored with courage and mindfulness by 17-year old photographer Ganden Medved-Po, who shares his vision with the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) – Philippines in his photography book, Life Below Water.

Together, Ganden and WWF Philippines aim to release a book that portrays the beauty of the ocean while raising awareness on various environmental issues surrounding it. “‘Life Below Water’ is a young person’s experience of the ocean, expressed through his chosen art of photography. The book is a reminder of why, what, how, and for whom we do our work of protecting our oceans,” WWF-Philippines Executive Director Katherine P Custodio says.
Although this is Ganden's first book, he is not fairly new to photography.
“The first time I started taking photos was probably on my parents’ old camera which they would use to document family celebrations and occasions. That was an old Panasonic camera," says Ganden, the son of Christopher Po, chairman of Century Pacific Food, Inc. and Nanette Medved-Po, founder and chairperson of HOPE and Plastic Credit Exchange.
