Thrilled to have the cover and a 12 page portfolio published in the current issue of Fotografare, one of Italy’s main photo magazines. I photographed this beautiful young Green Sea Turtle in Deerfield Beach, FL not too long ago. Enjoy! #florida #seaturtle #turtle #deerfieldbeach #ocean #beach #underwaterphotography #nauticamhousings #fisheye #sigma
Beautiful Loggerhead this past Saturday. Conditions were below average but this big turtle made it worthwhile. #loggerhead #seaturtle #palmbeach #florida #ocean #underwaterphotography #underwater #yourshotphotographer #nikon
Big female Tyrannochromis maculiceps (a predator about 12 inches) recalling fry at Masimbwe, a tiny island in Lake Malawi teaming with fish. These cichlids are maternal mouthbrooders. Females hold fertilized eggs in their mouths for about three weeks and then the young until they’re old enough to fend for themselves. Cool behavior to watch, super difficult to photograph for a number of reasons. After a few tries, I started getting it. Enjoy and happy Sunday. #malawi #predatorhaps #fishgeek #africa #nikon #animalbehavior #yourshotphotographer #africancichlids
Risky Dive: A scuba diver retrieves a ghost net caught on a rocky reef at a depth of 150 ft. near Masimbwe Island, Lake Malawi. The net costs approximately $500, about six months of income for the fishermen, who don't know how to swim and go out on the lake every day lacking safety equipment — all to provide protein to their families who live on villages along the beaches of nearby Likoma Island, Malawi.

Protomelas sp. Steveni Taiwan sparkles like a jewel among the boulders of remote and magical Taiwan Reef, an isolated rocky reef home to little fish like this one that exist nowhere else.

One of my favorites, Copadichromis borleyi @ Taiwan Reef, Lake Malawi. Dark green water during both of my dives there, but the fish life certainly didn't disappoint. This is a young male who is just starting to blossom. Beautiful little guy, around 4-5 inches TL.
