Pigmy Portrait

The Story behind the Shot

”I have been lucky to be able to travel a bit and to photograph some spectacular animals underwater. One the hardest ones to shoot is the Pigmy Seahorse: Seahorses are known not to be incredibly camera-friendly, so imagine one that is about the size of a grain of rice and hates light. Focusing on these guys is extremely hard, but with a bit of time and a lot of patience you can get amazing results.”
