Underwater Thunderstorm

When a wave breaks on a reef, she becomes a beachcomber. The underwater view offers incredible scenery, such as a thunderstorm. The force of the water pushes you back and forth, which makes you loot the reefs. Long Island in the Bahamas is located on the Tropic of Cancer. Between strong Atlantic ocean and the quiet Caribbean sea, the contrast is outstanding.
The place is a shallow lagoon separated from the ocean by a reef barrier. When we arrived on the spot to make pictures of freediving in the big blue, the sea was unleashed.
It seemed very difficult to cross the reef because of the very strong waves. We approached and attempted to pass the other side in immersion. It was impossible because the waves were too strong but we discovered an incredible underwater show.
We stayed several hours at this place to realize this image. The great difficulty was the coordination between the wave, the model and the photographer.
I began photography in 2006 during a trip to Kenya. Since, I am inspired by nature to create amazing pictures, preferring a purely artistic approach.
More than just pictures, I look particularly to communicate the emotions felt during each shot.
Always looking for new challenges, I take a very particular care to prepare my expeditions to discover unusual places and unique experiences.
The spirit of adventure guide my inspiration. So I photographed the great white sharks of Guadalupe Island in Mexico, I went to discover the "Grüner See" in Austria where I made a series of surreal images, I made freediving with humpback whales in the Kingdom of Tonga.
