illumination

Image captured during a night dive at Chumphom pinnacle in Koh Tao Thailand.

Image consists of a coral reef with pink anemone's which have a symbiotic relationship with the pink nemo fish which they house, giant clams & spiny sea urchins , with divers torches lingering in the background .

The shot was created using a mirror less digital camera & high power underwater strobe-light to light up the reef in the foreground with the divers torches balancing out the image background whilst also drawing the viewers attention towards the brightly lit reef in the foreground.

My fascination with light and negative space plus the color and clarity that is produced when shooting underwater at night inspired me to create this image
