Underwater wildlife
The underwater world is filled with the most unique and incredible wildlife, tucked away beneath the waves, inaccessible to most.
Each species and individual animal has its own personality waiting to be captured.
The environment presents some unique challenges for an underwater photographer. Photo shoots are limited by the amount of air you carry, telephoto lenses are impractical leaving only wide-angle lenses usable.
As an underwater photographer I need to learn how a subject behaves, capture its attention and engage with it in order to draw them close. Staying calm in their presence is a necessity, only then will I have a chance of capturing an image. In this collection are some of my close special encounters which I would like to share with you.
