Return of the King

Every Fall in Northern California the rivers and streams welcome the return of the Chinook Salmon, also known as the King Salmon. From their race from the ocean to their native spawning grounds, these Salmon eventually become a part of the ecosystem, and die while guarding their eggs

About Artist

Christopher Nonell

I am an underwater photographer and Scuba instructor based in Northern California. I have been taking photographs since 2008 and have been an underwater photographer since 2019. My passion is sharing the beauties of the underwater world with as many people as possible in hopes of raising awareness on the beauty and destruction that lie beneath the surface. This is the same reason I became a Scuba instructor in 2019, in hopes of teaching a new generation of divers to love and help protect these marine ecosystems, both salt water and freshwater.
