Stand Still

 This image came as a bit of a surprise to me. When I dive, I often don’t have a specific shot in mind—it’s the moment that presents the image to me. While I sometimes have an idea for a shot, most of the time, I let the scene unfold naturally.

As much of my work connects with wildlife, I’m constantly reminded that everything exists purely as it is—no direction, no structure, no rules. Wildlife moves with its own free will, and it’s in those unscripted moments that the most meaningful images are born.
