“This stunning collection of photographs transcends traditional oceanography and ushers us into a realm of awe and reverence for the world’s oceans.”
MEN’S JOURNAL

 

“His work, which has also been published in several books, is a journey of exploration of the seven seas, from otherworldly seascapes to coastal wildernesses to surfing in the frozen north Atlantic to the tranquil tropics, illustrating the diversity but also the fragility of the global ocean.”
THE GUARDIAN

 

“The collection takes in surfers searching for a wave amid icebergs, seaplanes swooping under surf-sprayed cliffs and a mesmerising mosaic of aerial shots, offering an almost abstract patchwork of Indian Ocean sandbars.”
