Nicolas Tolstoy
The ocean is a fascination for me and an
essential element in my life.
I began my career like professional scientist
diver, complete by a university degree in
marine biology and underwater ecology.
I worked for various jobs, all in connection
with the sea; in oceanographic centers and research laboratories.
As a diver, photography has naturally emerged
as the best means of expression to capture and freeze my vision of this «nature
océane ».
In 2010 I decided to devote myself entirely to
underwater photography by becoming professional.
I am now photographer specializing in marine
environment and I get the chance to
travel the world in countries that interest me.
My goal, is to bring the viewer to be invaded
by the shapes, the colors, the structures, and textures ... Let him be soak up
by alchemy of these elements and feeling a sensation, an emotion regardless of
which register.
The important thing is the power of this
emotion. That is the purpose of my photographic work.
So I hope my pictures will trigger you in a
multitude of emotions…
