Underwater photographer • one breath Visual storyteller • Wild encounters

[Alexander Plakida @Alexvplakida]

I hold my breath and dive into another universe.

Meet the creatures most people never see.

Meet the underwater photographer who travels to the other world sharing priceless moments.

Seven days carry seven names.

We shift tones.
We adjust posture.

We play roles when necessary.

PSPSPS: The English idiom for "calm as a stone" is actually "calm as a cucumber." 

Now you know. 🥒

Exemplary Calmness. 🪨

There is no such idiom as "calm as a stone."

But in nature, the stone is the very image of calmness.

PSPS: Never repeat my experiment.

This fish is extremely venomous and dangerous. 

Exemplarily, lethally dangerous

@JohnGetchel The light was perfect, my camera was ready.
I just pressed the shutter at the exact moment the giant screen behind the dancer flashed a single, commanding word: "ENJOY."
Was it coincidence or a sign? It is you to decide))).

[Alexander Plakida @Alexvplakida]

@JohnGetchel Thanks John! My story is…
Times Square is a place you revisit, no matter how often you've been to New York.
It's a constant pulse of energy. So you know there is going to be something :)
On this day, I stumbled upon a photoshoot in progress.

Yet beneath the variations lives the same truth:

Presence.
Alertness.
Predatory calm.

Each face appears different.

A different expression.

A different temperament.
