Corinne Bourbeillon, underwater photographer

Diving without travelling

Before, I used to travel to dive. Today, the climate emergency encourages me to reduce my air travel. No more warm exotic seas?

Pygmy seahorses do not like photos

Nothing is more annoying to photograph than a seahorse-pygmy. Too small. Too much camouflaged. Too shy. But his delicate plastic is worth a few efforts.
Indonesia: Weda [Halmahera] + Bangka [Sulawesi] - March 2013

Wreck. Diving in the Red Sea. Hamata, Egypt, November 2011.

Diving in the Red Sea

I discovered the joys of fisheye, during this stay devoted to underwater photography in Hamata, Egypt. Magic of optics, which perfectly recreates the atmosphere of the seabed of the Red Sea.
