Australian photographer Matty Smith's stunning series Over/Under captures such vast and vivid bites of life in a single shot. The sheer dazzle and shift of water in a landscape. The intrigue, power and allure of what could lie beneath the surface. Smith shoots at dusk to catch the brilliant colors in the depths, which he illuminates with strobe lights. He says of the series,
“For me one of the most wondrous parts of any dive is the moment that the water engulfs my mask as my head slips below the surface. I think it’s the suspense of the unknown of what lies beneath, the transitional part of moving from one element to the next that feels so magical and the thought of what alien creatures I might encounter.”

Bluebottle jellyfish are gorgeous! Deadly though (just like every other thing in Australia that are trying to kill you!)
