An underwater photography is more than just a hobby for me- it is a way of life. The feeling of being under the water holding a camera in my hands, anticipating a special moment is magnificent. An underwater photography is a combination of two very basic, but conflicting needs that I have. On the one hand, the constant need for excitements and thrills, and on the other hand the need for peace and tranquility. Thinking that in each dive I may encounter a new phenomenon or a unique creature drives me constantly. I have started photographing in 1996, simply as a need to record my traveling and the amazing things I have seen while diving. However, the Red Sea has always remained my home base, an enchanted cool sea in which I felt in ease. In 2003 I started photographing with a DSLR camera and the attraction was immediate. I always try to be creative and explore new approaches and techniques in my pictures. A few years ago I gained to my UW photography arsenal a compact camera and a mirrorless camera and I absolutely love it and enjoy the challenge.
