Due to the water streams, the coral reefs and the sandbanks that crisscross the ocean like a huge underwater dunescape, the variety of different shades of blue is unique in the remote archipelagos of the Indian Ocean. From ultramarine to cyan, from turquoise to azure, from indigo to sapphire blue - the subtle nuances and gradations shape the character of this underwater landscape. Unfortunately, these fragile systems are in real danger due to rising water temperatures caused by global warming.All images were taken from a helicopter flying about 2500 meters above the ground.

Roland Blum, 1966 Grabs, lives and works in Schaan, Liechtenstein.
He studied music at the Jazz School and at the conservatory in Lucerne.
Work focus: abstract landscape photography with main focus on aerial shots.

I have been involved in photography since I was 10 years old. My father introduced me to the world of analogue photography. In these early days, I gained my first experience with abstract photography in the field of macro photography. Since then aerial photography became my main subject. 80% of my photographic work has consisted of aerial photography in the abstract landscape field
