photographing Maravilla
Cenote Maravilla in Mexico is one of my favourite places on earth, and every time I free dive there I try to find a new way to photograph its marvels. This time I focused on getting all the elements together - the opening, the cloud, the vast space, and two free divers in the frame. It was a tricky shot but it was fun to try.
The freedivers are Camila Jaber, Georgina Miller, Cesiah and Estefani, and Roberto Guzman.
The music is "I am" by Aisha Vaughan.

a Mermaid in Cornwall

And if you're really really lucky, she'll stick around and you get to experience a mersonality that's as sparkly as her outfit.

Perspective
Переглядів 15 тис.6 місяців тому
The idea for this video came from the realisation that, after years of struggling with depression, what helped me the most was creating things. Of course I also have to make sure I exercise and eat healthy, but once I combined them all, I had a much better handle on how dark my moods get. And when I discussed that with friends, it turned out this was pretty universal. They might have different ...

    That's still my favorite place to dive so far. I loved how as I descended into it the first time the light beams would sometimes illuminate the sides and reveal that you could fit an entire cathedral down there! It's an unassuming hole that conceals so much wonderment. I miss it.

      @@DaanVerhoeven The other one I enjoyed down there was Kin-Ha. It’s an enclosed cave with openings in the roof. As the sun changed position it would send narrow beams down the holes into almost total blackness. I have no idea how far down it goes, but it feels like descending down beams of light into the infinite. ♾️
