Raphael Giraud, Flying over the desert (ANIMAL & NATURE 2022)

With these pictures I wanted to show the artistic side of animals on sand flats. These animals are the Green Sea Turtle, the Blue Spotted Stingray, the Spotted Eagle Ray, and the Spotted Wobbegong Shark. All these pictures have been taken off the lighthouse in Byron Bay, a special place with abundant marine life and beautiful sandy bottom, but subject to big swell and very strong currents. Taking these pictures was as hard as swimming back to the shore.
