Underwater Gallery
Discover the exceptional diversity and stunning beauty of the underwater world through my lens, — a collection of images captured over a period of seven years. My photographs offer a unique perspective on the vibrant marine life and colorful coral reefs, providing a glimpse into the aquatic realm that lies beneath the ocean's surface.
Sharks, Whales, and Orcas – A Wild Ocean Adventure
Before heading to Baja, I couldn’t have imagined what we were about to experience — not even in my wildest dreams.
It started gently — calm water, blue skies, and a curious blue shark who stayed with us for hours. Every time I dove to photograph her, I could hear humpback whales singing in the distance.
The ocean was kind to us — we witnessed a pod of orcas hunting whales and even had the chance to swim alongside them. It felt like stepping into a live episode of Blue Planet, with orcas gliding past in crystal-clear water. All we were missing was David Attenborough narrating.
And finally, after chasing mako sharks across three continents, I got my moment. On our last shark day, three makos appeared — fast and electric.
The Coral Crown - Diving into Raja Ampat
This place overwhelmed me. The colors, the life, the sheer density of it all — it felt like nature had turned the saturation all the way up.
Located in the heart of West Papua, Raja Ampat is a sensory overload. Schools of fish swirled like liquid architecture, sea fans stretched wider than my arms, and even the silence felt louder here. One moment I was hovering over soft coral gardens, the next I was trying to spot a camouflaged wobbegong shark hiding in plain sight.
I surfaced more than once with tears behind my mask — grateful, moved, and a little in disbelief that places like this still exist. Raja Ampat reminded me why I fell in love with underwater photography in the first place: to show what’s still out there… and worth protecting.
The Queen’s Garden - A Reef Lost in Time
Beneath the surface of southern Cuba lies a kingdom suspended in time.
Jardines de la Reina, or the Gardens of the Queen, is one of the last places in the Caribbean where sharks still rule the reef and mangroves still pulse with life.
Here, I drifted alongside reef sharks as they weaved through coral gardens untouched by mass tourism. I floated through tunnels of grunts and snappers, their golden scales flashing like confetti in the sunlit shallows. And in the calm stillness of the mangroves, I met a jellyfish — gliding like a ghost between the roots.
In this forgotten paradise, I felt like I was glimpsing the ocean as it once was — and maybe still could be.
Beneath Southern Waters – Cage Diving at Neptune Islands
In the remote waters off South Australia’s rugged coastline, a rare opportunity awaits — to meet great white sharks in their element.
With Rodney Fox Shark Expeditions, I journeyed to the Neptune Islands, one of the only places in the world where you can dive with great whites from a submersible bottom cage. It’s an experience unlike any other: descending into the blue, surrounded by the raw energy of one of the ocean’s most iconic predators.
But it’s not just about the sharks. Above the waterline, rock wallabies, seabirds, and sprawling coastal landscapes complete the portrait of this wild, windswept corner of the world — a place where nature still reigns.
Every encounter here deepened my respect for these waters — and for the remarkable life that calls them home.
Tides of Light – Exploring Florida and the Bahamas
Some places feel like they were made for slow, easy wonder — and the waters of Florida and the Bahamas are exactly that.
In Florida, an incredible diversity of wildlife can be found just beneath the surface — from manatees in the clear springs of Crystal River, to lemon sharks patrolling the blue waters of Jupiter, to alligators and vibrant birdlife in the wetlands nearby. Across the Bahamas, nurse sharks, southern stingrays, and colorful reefs filled the days with moments of quiet magic.
In these tropical waters, the sun filters through turquoise shallows, casting moving patterns across sandy bottoms and coral gardens. Every dive carried the warmth and rhythm of the tropics — a reminder that beauty doesn’t always roar; sometimes, it simply drifts by on a current of light.
The Edge of Blue –
A Journey Across the Atlantic
Some places pull you in with their mystery — and the Atlantic has always been one of them.
From the volcanic seamounts of the Azores to the wild coastlines of South Africa and the shipwrecks off North Carolina, these waters offer encounters that are as unpredictable as they are unforgettable. Blue sharks, whale sharks, sand tiger sharks — each dive brought a new revelation, a glimpse into a world ruled by currents and instinct.
The ocean here felt bigger, wilder. It demanded patience, respect, and a willingness to embrace the unknown.
These moments tested my skills and expanded my view of what underwater photography could be — and the wonder I felt in those deep blue waters still drives me forward today.
Tides of Discovery - Riding Tropical Currents
This is where it all began.
Years ago, with a secondhand camera and a head full of curiosity, I set out to explore the Red Sea. I didn’t have the best gear or much of a plan — just a deep fascination with the underwater world and a desire to capture it.
From drifting over Egypt’s coral gardens to weaving through the reefs of Thailand, Indonesia, and the Maldives, each dive unveiled scenes I had only glimpsed in documentaries — dolphins, moray eels, and clouds of anthias flickering in the light.
The photos weren’t perfect, but they lit a spark. They laid the foundation for everything that came next.
And the sense of wonder? That’s never changed.
