|Featured Project| Captiva Island

This Florida shoot was the first time I’d had the opportunity to work in salt water, so that’s how it landed here with featured projects. Captiva and Sanibel Islands are near and dear to my heart!

It was in my pre-underwater camera days, and I had only flown with my camera gear a handful of times, so I was nervous about everything. It worked out, and opened the door to more fishy projects in my body of work since then.

It doesn’t hurt that I love seashells, and Sanibel Island is the Seashell Capital of the World!

Special thanks to Chris, the angling fool who hired me, let me wet a line or two, and created a monster. 😉
