Hi, I'm a marine biology student in France, and I'm actually working on sharks. I'm professional diver, and I really love underwater photography, in scuba diving and in freediving.

Hey Thom, Why don’t you take up Photography full time!?
Malta Photography
what a stunning shot Thomas. my goodness I can almost sense summer in this shot. The colors are just wonderful and the crab man looks awesome. I do not feel comfortable in water but this shot makes me want to dive beneath.
Pauline Jones

Keep it up ! The colors and the composition are wonderful. It’s just wonderful what you can find in the deep.

This is a fabulous shot! Love the colors. Also, I wanted to say that I believe Marine Biology is one of the most vital and important fields to study. Between global warming and over-fishing, the world’s oceans are threatened beyond belief. With your ability to capture the beauty of the life beneath, you can make a difference. Keep up the great work, and good luck with your studies.

Thomas Vignaud
Hi and thank you all
Ahmed, This shot is F/14, 1/160, and you can see where is the strobe by shadows
Anurag, I’d like too, but it seems like nature photography don’t sell. everytime somebody told me “you should sell your photos” I just answer that it’s easy to say and I’ll be happy to pay somebody to sell my photos ^^
Malta, you should try
Pauline, the sea is my studio.
Lisa, I really hope I can do something for that, I study marine biology in part in a hope to make that more protected, and I guess I can change the eyes of some people with photography…
Thanks again
Renee
