My name is Matthias Edling and I am a Swedish multi-award-winning photographer and filmmaker, focusing on marine and wildlife conservation and awareness in SE Asia. 

In 2015 then I took the ultimate leap of faith and moved to SE Asia to start my diving career. Back then I began as an Instructor teaching people how to dive; but already then spreading awareness about our current environmental crisis and how to best fight it. 
When I was not busy with courses or otherwise occupied, I then took my camera out for a dive and discovered my new passion, Underwater photography and videography. 

As a self-taught Photographer / Videographer, I started Eye of Nature with the sole purpose of showing people animals, creatures, critters, and everything in between from all over the world. Especially show them up close since most people did not even know that they existed or what they were, and if they are in danger by being extinct or not. By posting my experience and everything that I get to see, I hope to spread awareness of the many dangerous side effects that we humans have on our planet and especially our oceans.

While previously working for some of the best liveaboards in Indonesia. I found myself lucky enough to be in the most biodiverse place on earth, right in middle of the coral triangle. After spending some time in such places as Raja Ampat and Komodo National Park, I got to see how reef are supposed to look like and how quickly it can decline because of human interaction. 

I noticed how much of a difference I could make by just spreading the news and documenting it. Simple things about how to best protect our oceans and everything that calls it home by doing small things straight from the comfort of your own home.

Now being back in Indonesia, I can focus more on filming and documenting everything this part of the world has to offer. 

Follow me and I will show you this beautiful world of ours.
