Diving
I have always been fascinated with nature, I loved Jacques Couteau´s and of course David Attenborough´s documentaries which have always inspired me.
It wasn´t until I started scuba diving that I became aware of a completely different world, with a range of colours completely unique to it, with the most extraordinary creatures. I have been very lucky to have been able to travel and dive in some of the most beautiful places in the world, and even luckier that when diving, the interactions I have had with many of the creatures have been unique, surprising and in some cases humbling.
I am aware that I have missed many extraordinary shots, as observing is sometimes more important than looking through the lens.

Underwater photography takes skill, and getting a shot to work in strong currents, is difficult enough, getting the light right and unable to set the shot up makes it a difficult and sometimes disappointing quest, however, looking through the shots, you are often rewarded by some exceptional images, as much on the part of the subject, as on the patience of the photographer.
When underwater, if you turn round or look into the blue you will see other animals coming to look at you, from the biggest creatures, the inquisitive and friendly, or the tiny, like the pugnacious damsel or clown fish who will defend their territory against even the biggest animals.
