The world's oceans are one of the last great largely unexplored places on earth. They teem with life some of it familiar and some of it strange to us and "Fish Face" takes us closer to the fish that live here. Showing full-page pictures of close up portraits of their faces, the book takes us from the beautiful to the ugly, from spiky to rotund. The huge variety of species is appealing and astounding. The book takes a look at the work of David Doubilet, widely acclaimed as the world's leading underwater photographer. He has photographed fish for over 25 years and "Fish Face" looks at the most colourful, fun and bizarre fish he has encountered. This book should appeal to anyone who has ever wondered about the variety of fish living in our oceans and to naturalists and photographers alike.

Great Pictures,
By Anthony Clemente "Anthony J Apple" (Brooklyn, New York United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Fish Face (Hardcover)
I am a huge fan of David doubilet. His photography is amazing and awe inspiring. My only quam with this book is that it is too small. Many pictures are ruined because they stretch over pages and parts are lost. The hardcover edition seems to remedy the problem though. As no content is lost to the binding. His Water Light Time book is one of my favorite books in my library. And Fish Face is already one of my favorites. The pictures are great, and he has once again proven his ability as a photographer

Not just a pretty face...,

This review is from: Fish Face (Hardcover)
Once again, David Doubilet shows his ingenious photography work. I really enjoyed Water Light Time, and Fish Face is proving to be a close second. Each image is carefully shot. It is wonderful to see close-up images of deep sea marine life and other creatures that one would not normally find on a casual snorkel excursion. There is a sense of humor to some of these photos, too, which makes looking at them even more entertaining. This is a perfect companion to Water Light Time!
