Internationally award-winning photographer Mark Laita has focused his vast technical and artistic expertise on the creatures of the deep. In Sea, with cutting-edge photographic techniques, Laita unveils the full splendor and otherworldliness of the ocean’s inhabitants in an entirely new and thrilling way. Rippling reflections, stark backdrops, and surprising angles lay bare the astonishing beauty of the life that teems under the water’s surface. Leaping from the pages are piggybacking sea horses, iridescent jellyfish, ethereal but menacing stingrays, and deadly puffer fish. Laita’s masterful photography reveals their extraordinary colors, textures, and personalities to us as never before.
Praise for Sea:
“Here is craft honed to so high a level it becomes art. Sea is simply a miracle of depiction.”

Bought this as a gift for my young neices, and my brother in law (who is an avid scuba diver) was probably more impressed. Crisp, rich photography in astonishingly artistic layouts. No information on the pages, but there is a reference section in the back with thumbprints of the pictures and full details on each sea creature.

This is one of those books that is full of glorious photographs that often challenge the imagination. There is so little that we actually know about what lives in the sea, so close to us, but so far away in our knowledge and understanding.

Absolutely gorgeous
I'd like see more text detailing how the photos were taken, and maybe a little info about each species. The print quality is great, and the subject matter endlessly fascinating.
