Blue Planet

Because ours is truly a blue planet...

Shot in the sea near Cannes (French Riviera) in the summer of 2019.

“I must be a mermaid, Rango. I have no fear of depths and a great fear of shallow living.” Anais Nin

Autodidact both in photography and freediving, I began taking pictures underwater in 2013, with a particular interest in wave flow-patterns, over-and-under seascapes, caustics, sparkles, reflections, solar flares, blurs and natural gradients from light blue to deep blue to the mysterious darkness of the abyss.

All my pictures are taken free diving, mostly off wild beaches in the South of France.

I’m French, living and working in Cannes and in London.
