If asked I always describe myself as a pictorial photographer - I try to tell stories with my images. I’m less interested in the hard edges & imperfections of reality than I am in an idealised representation, one that hopefully elicits emotion in the viewer. Never is this more true than with my underwater images. Although competition rules severely restrict what I can & cannot change I still try to pick images that give you an idea of what it was like to be there.
This image of cormorants hunting in a sardine shoal does that I think. As an image it has lots of technical imperfections, so it’s unlikely to do well in competitions, but I love it. Hope you like it too :-)
