Pelagic

Blue Desert

The open ocean thirty miles offshore — a place most people never see. No reef, no structure, just infinite blue fading to black below. A single mahi-mahi holds in the shadow of a piece of kelp, the only object in an otherwise featureless world. The scale of emptiness here is what the print captures.

Macro

Mantis Portrait

Peacock mantis shrimp have sixteen types of color receptors — humans have three. This portrait was taken with a 100mm macro lens on a night dive in Lembeh Strait, the animal backlit by a single video light to reveal the iridescent structures of its carapace. One of the most complex creatures in the ocean, rendered in full.

Hammerhead at Dawn

Cocos Island, 36 hours offshore Costa Rica. Schooling hammerheads aggregate at cleaning stations at first light — this frame taken at 25 meters as the sun's first rays filtered through the thermocline above. The animal's cephalofoil creates a perfect geometric silhouette. Fifteen minutes of bottom time remained when this was shot.

Large Pelagic

Whale Song

Humpback whale and calf, Vava'u, Tonga. The mother held position for nearly forty minutes while the calf spiraled below her, surfacing every few minutes. This frame captures the moment the calf dove back toward her — flukes just breaking the light layer, the mother's eye watching. No approach was made; we waited for them to come to us.

Reef

Soft Coral Forest

A wall dive at Raja Ampat, 8 meters depth on an incoming tide. The current feeds the soft corals until they swell to three times their contracted size — brilliant orange and violet against the deep blue column beyond. Shot wide at f/8 to maintain sharpness across the depth of the colony. No artificial light; the colors here are natural.

Freediving

Freediver Ascent

Taken in the blue hole at Dahab, Egypt, during a training session. The diver is at approximately 25 meters, ascending through a shaft of filtered surface light. The bubbles rising from a previous pass create the only visual reference to scale. Shot on a single breath, from below, looking up.

Macro

Night Bloom

Crown-of-thorns starfish hunting at night, surrounded by polyp-extended brain coral. Night diving reveals behaviors invisible during the day — this image required three nights at the same site to find the right composition. Two strobes at negative 1.5 EV to preserve the darkness without losing the coral's detail.

Abstract

Thermocline

The line between warm and cold water creates an optical phenomenon — a visible distortion, like heat shimmer, only underwater. This image was taken at the halocline in a Bahamian blue hole, the freshwater lens above creating a mirror-like ceiling. The diver below is in the salt layer; the reflections are fresh water.

Wreck

The Wreck

USAT Liberty, Tulamben, Bali — a Second World War cargo ship that now hosts more than four hundred species of fish. This frame was taken at 18 meters in the early morning, before the dive boats arrived. A school of bigeye trevally sweeps through the superstructure; the artificial reef has been here since 1963.
