[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Dong-Eui University announced on the 13th that Professor Park Jae-young of the Leisure Sports Department won an award at the 2nd Vienna International Photo Award held on September 14 for his photographic work capturing the beauty of marine life.

Photographers from 68 countries around the world submitted photos matching the themes in eight categories for this photo exhibition.

Professor Park received an Honorable Mention in the Macro Photography category for his work photographing minute marine organisms at the millimeter scale.

Professor Park is exhibiting works shot underwater around the world, focusing on the themes of marine ecosystems and the climate crisis.

In July, he held a solo exhibition at Ajit Gallery in Insadong, and in August, he participated in an invitational exhibition at Gwanhun Gallery.

Additionally, to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the establishment of the Navy's 3rd Fleet Command, a special underwater photography exhibition titled "Communion" was held at the Command Headquarters from September 27 to October 14 for three weeks.

The exhibition showcased 25 works, including those awarded at the 2021 Vienna International Photo Award, capturing the mysterious and beautiful moments of small marine life underwater.

Professor Park Jae-young said, "Although the Navy lives by the sea and with the sea, I thought it might be difficult for them to truly see and enjoy the beauty of the sea due to various missions, so I promoted this photo exhibition."
