FOTOGRAFIA SUBACQUEA

APOGEO Editore

Language: ITALIAN

Tecniche e strumenti per ritrarre il mondo sotto la superficie dell'acqua
di Pietro Formis e Marco Colombo

Diving beneath the water’s surface opens the door to a fascinating and mysterious world. From the vibrant colors of coral reefs to the dark depths of the open ocean, from the calm waters of lakes and ponds to the fast currents of rivers and streams, underwater photography requires a deep understanding of the environment, physical preparation, and technical skills.

The authors guide readers through the discovery of aquatic ecosystems, with special attention to both their beauty and fragility. They explain how to choose the right equipment, manage lighting, overcome the challenges of refraction and backscatter, capture macro and wide-angle images, master special techniques for unique shots, enhance composition and storytelling, and effectively plan dives and excursions in both marine and freshwater environments. The book is further enriched by contributions and images from some of Italy’s leading underwater photographers.

Featuring spectacular imagery, detailed explanations, valuable technical advice, and a strong focus on the role of photography in environmental conservation, this guide is the perfect companion for photographers who want to discover and portray the wonders of the underwater world.

AQUA, MYSTERIES OF THE UNDERWATER WORLD

Daniele Marson Editore

Language: ITALIAN / ENGLISH

The book was honored as the best book of the year 2020 at the prestigious Underwater Photographer of the Year (UPY). A photobook dedicated to water, a source of life, the mother of all creatures on the planet. A journey through the shapes, colors, lights and behavior of water creatures. From the oceans to the tropical seas to the Red Sea, to the Mediterranean Sea. 

Darkness and its mysterious creatures. The light source of energy for the ecosystem and the creation of spectacular games. Colors, communication codes of a complex and marvelous world. The shapes, shaped by evolution, are presented in an indescribable variety of functional solutions. 

The anthropomorphic masks of apparently monstrous but incredibly fascinating beings. Life and death, closely linked: the investment of the species on its own future, also through the sacrifice of the individual, in favor of the community; parental care of certain parents. Predation universal rule of the world of nature, eating and being eaten. Survival: surviving the most greedy, cynical and determined predator: man. Is this perhaps an impossible mission?
