Skirting the sandy bottom of the sea or floating amid the fronds of anemones, the subjects of Andrey Savin’s portraits can’t help but act a little sleazy. The photographer encounters most marine species in the waters around where he lives in the Philippines, fascinated by their enigmatic habits and unique interactions. “The most interesting moments for me are when I observe relationships between living creatures of the same species or interspecies relationships,” he told Colossal. A finalist in the 2022 Close-Up Photographer of the Year competition, it highlights everyone’s distinctive features, from frayed teeth to speckled scales, and their remarkable aquatic habitat.
Savin is currently working on a project investigating how to take high quality video with smartphones underwater, while focusing on capturing animal behavior. You can find more on his website, Instagram, and Behance.
