Light, Shadow and Sea – A Black and White Short Film
This month, I presented a short film titled “Light, Shadow and Sea” at the New York Underwater Photographic Society meeting. Focusing on black and white, the film explores underwater contrast and texture, capturing diverse marine environments and emphasizing mood over color. It serves as an exercise in illuminating the subtleties of underwater life.
Light, Shadow, and the Sea.

The lion, revered across cultures as a symbol of strength and authority, captivates with its regal presence. Clad in a golden mane, its muscular form and amber eyes exude nobility. Its powerful roar, echoing over the savannah, proclaims territorial dominance and unites the pride, a timeless emblem of majesty.
