About Torbjörn Gylleus

I’ve always been interested in photography, but my passion truly took off in 2001 when I first took a compact digital camera underwater. In 2005, I bought my first DSLR ahead of a trip to Truk Lagoon, where I began focusing on wreck photography.
With a strong interest in history and urbex, I’m drawn to wrecks and unusual dive sites with submerged buildings or structures—and I rarely dive without a camera. I’m especially fond of wooden wrecks, which I find uniquely photogenic, though exploring pristine steamer wrecks is always something special.
Most of my work is shot underwater, but I also develop my topside photography across different genres. I write articles that have been published with my images in Scandinavian and international magazines, and I’ve hosted underwater photography workshops. I’m an editor and photojournalist for DYK and DYK NetMag, and since 2018 I’ve been an ambassador for Exposure Underwater.
