Sebastien Zanella, Photographer, Paris

Description

An underwater photograph captured by Sebastien Zanella features a single sea lion gliding gracefully through deep blue ocean water. Natural ambient light filters down from the surface above, illuminating the marine mammal's sleek, textured fur and long whiskers. The composition emphasizes the fluid motion of the animal against the murky, diffused background of the underwater environment. Subtle particulate matter floats in the water column, adding depth and realism to the scene. The color palette is dominated by cool blue and teal tones.
