Small Wonders

Macro portraits of the ocean's smallest characters - octopus skin, seahorses, animals the length of a fingernail.

Blackwater

Macro 1

Season Year-round
Commissioned by Print collectors

Between expeditions I go small. Macro work is the opposite of the blue-water chase: one animal, one hour, one square foot of reef. The reward is texture no wide lens will ever see - sucker rows like pearl strings, seahorse armor, chromatophores firing like weather.
