Footage from London Aquarium




I found it hard to show the elegance and grace of the fish's movements through photography. Here is a short selection of footage that looks at the behaviour and movement of the fish. I found it hard to film the fish with my hand held camera, I don't have the steadiest hand and this is the first time I’ve used it. But I do like the intense blue of the water and the light breaking the surface. I also like that it is out of focus at times because I think it adds a sense of mystery and magic to the scene. It’s very dream like and therapeutic with the soft music. The piece has a high contrast, accentuating the light bouncing off the fishes' scales.
