Raja Ampat’s coral reefs are the most biodiverse on the planet. Hard corals, soft corals, schools of fish shimmering in the clear water. The variety of colors and photo subjects is unbelieveable. I love to shoot underwater with natural light whenever possible, and many dives in Raja Ampat offered the opportunity to break out the…

Raja Ampat is home to more than 500 species of coral (75% of all varieties known worldwide), and the greater Bird’s Head Seascape is the most biodiverse place in the world. Diving here is mind-blowing, even after seeing so many other amazing dive sites across the Coral Triangle. On our Seven Seas expedition to Raja…

Diving in Raja Ampat usually means exploring the unbelieveable biodiversity of the coral reefs. And while I love shooting photos of the colorful tropical fish and corals, I’m always keeping an eye out in the blue water for a glimpse of larger species.

We explored islands, empty beaches, caves…

During our twelve day voyage with the Seven Seas, we found everything from deep dives for mantas to plunges into the deep blue in search of sharks, tuna, or…

On many of our dives in Raja Ampat, we found shimmering walls of schooling fish – far too many to take in with a normal lens. Trying to do justice to the experience of swimming around the world’s best aquarium, I used a 16-35mm lens with my Canon 5D Mark IV in a Liquid Eye…

Every year across Indonesia, enormous schools of silversided minnows congregate around the reefs to feed on upwellings of plankton. These huge concentrations of baitfish in turn attract larger predator species all the way up to whale sharks – the biggest fish in the sea. During our twelve-day voyage across Raja Ampat on the Seven Seas,…
