It’s bitter sweet being an underwater photographer. On the one hand it’s an absolute pleasure to see our oceans flourishing, but on the other, a commitment to capture the tragedy of nature. When I heard this angler had a bent lure, I knew I had to capture it before it fell victim to starvation. Anglerfish carry their lures atop their heads, and use it hypnotise prey, in addition to attracting a mate. Sea creatures can often learn to adapt and overcome deformities such as this, however, this poor critter not only had a parasite attached to its underside, but a deteriorating right eye. What made this encounter even more tragic, is that I had previously photographed the exact same critter 5 months ago, and entitled it “SUMO”, as he stood strong and entitled before my lens.
