'Free Dive' Series by Kanoa Zimmerman | Fiji

This stunning photography collection is by the well-travelled and San Francisco based photographer Kanoa Zimmerman whose Free Dive series documents his adventure to a set of islands in Northwest Fiji. The series is composed of monochromatic shots of deep sea divers, spear-fishers and their prey in the vast underwater universe encapsulated in this breathtaking set. Zimmerman, unlike other underwater photographers, chose to keep a simple colour scheme by muting the multihued nature of underwater life and the striking scene frames were achieved by sinking below his subjects to catch them at a higher angle.

Zimmerman’s underwater imagery transforms the viewer's gaze to that of an aquatic explorer navigating a dark and vast terrain with only the centralised subject as a source of light.
