behaviors and strategies.


Pietro presents a collection of strong impact images revealing the most mysterious side of the
subjects.


From the nocturnal images of magical creatures, to the “little jewels” in macro-photographs, to
close focus wide-angle portraits.


The tex is written by Pietro Formis with the collaboration of Emilio Mancuso (Istituto per gli
Studi sul Mare di Milano) who wrote the “in-fosus insights “ about biological aspects for every
chapter:


DARK: the inhabitants of night-time emerge
from the darkness


LIGHT: crosses the water surface and illumi-
nates caves in spectacular patterns. Light re-
veals and transforms sea creatures fascinating
all who venture into the underwater world.


COLORS: red like a Spanish dancer, green like
the fluorescent color of sea squirts, blue like
the clear water of the sea.


FORM: creatures with bizarre silhouettes and
abstract shapes, oddities and beauty in the un-
derwater world.


LIFE: the beginnings of life, reproduction and
birth. (eggs, mating)


DEATH: predation and the natural cycle of life.
