As light travels down through the ocean medium, color is quickly absorbed and dissipates, revealing the oceans natural state of form and movement. In black and white these elements come more sharply into focus. The many nuances so often camouflaged by artificial light meant to produce brilliant color now catch the eye's attention. The swaying of soft corals, the suspension of a jelly, and the glittering of scales among a school of fish expose the invisible movement of water and light. Predators hunt against an infinite liquid background, while their prey draws scatterred patterns on a dense gray canvas. In many ways black and white more perfectly captures the ocean environment, and emphasizes details otherwise lost when presented in full color.
