For someone (like me) who is petrified of marine life — but still thinks it’s phenomenal and often moans about probably never being able to see the “real thing” — the leading resource of marine life imagery, Wetpixel has launched a quarterly print magazine to quieten such moans and to bring the splendor of the marine world to your couch.
In the market since 2000, Wetpixel is the best online resource for professional real-life underwater photography and videos; the new quarterly is an extension of the site that will bring that quality to print.
When I see mind-boggling photography (especially underwater shots), be it online or in print, I always think that there must be some computer manipulation here. But no: It is possible to capture marine life in its complete essence without using Photoshop, and Wetpixel’s new print piece proves just that.
Wetpixel has always provided a platform encouraging dialog between those interested in marine conservation, and is open to contributions from professional as well as amateur photographers and videographers; the magazine will continue with that.
For as little as $45 a year, you can subscribe to this slick quarterly, especially if — like me — you want to see the underwater wonders without any fear of fish attacking you or of your tank running out of air.
