“Especially that Larisa felt safe, there was a shot with the drone in which she saw the crocodiles in the cenote. That’s not easy to handle in the head, so I think, in the end, it was an incredible project. “

Action and adventure photographer Mauricio Ramos is once again a surprise, this time with incredible shots of wakeboarding athlete Larisa Morales in an unusual location: the Mexican cenotes.

Making this shooting, which Mauricio called Project Underworld, was not easy. Here’s a few selection from this intrepid photographer:

Larisa descending into one of the deepest cenotes. “In general the Underworld Project had two very particular qualities: the difficult production and the lack of light inside the cenotes,” comments Mauricio regarding the difficulties of shooting.

“Each photo was complex in different senses. There are some cenotes where you can not even see your hand in front of your face. Total obscurity. So viewing the shot was a challenge. “

“Larisa had to find clean lines between the roots or the rock formations (stalactites, stalagmites or columns), which limited our ability to take action to the next level a little. Something we knew before starting, but being there you always want more “

“The reduced spaces for Larisa were the most complicated. It needs space to take flight and to land, so we could not use the ramp in all the cenotes. “

“The other quality was the number of people who participated. Every day we went out Larisa, Matt, Marcos, Esteban, Euri, Robbie, JJ ( alltournative guides ) and I, plus the video team, that was a few days.

“Coming to the communities where the cenotes are, we received a lot of support from local people who helped us load the ramp, the winch, the photo equipment … We moved about 200 kilos of equipment. Only photo was 140 kilos. “
