They Come, They Look, They Vanish
Juvenile Southern Reef Squid are inquisitive and playful, gathering in small groups and keeping a careful distance. Their curiosity is obvious as they hover just out of reach. Then, in a stealthy move, they vanish back into the dark water — the only trace they leave behind is the image in my camera.
About Artist
Vadim Belakhov
I am a certified freediver and underwater photographer based in Melbourne, Australia. Photography has been a long-standing passion of mine, and about five years ago I combined it with another passion—freediving—turning breath-hold diving into both my way of exploring the underwater world and my creative tool. Whether I am travelling or diving locally in Port Phillip Bay, I focus on telling visual stories that show you do not need to be a scuba diver to experience the extraordinary beauty the ocean has to offer.
