Over the years, photographer Laurent Ballesta has established himself as one of the most emblematic figures in naturalist and underwater photography. As well as being a biologist, he is, of course, an unparalleled diver, keen on the most extreme conditions, not so much for the sake of danger as to gain access to the mysteries of previously inaccessible depths.
At times, his photographs seem to be abstract, made of transparencies and singular formal structures. Above all, it is the colors that captivate, as much those of the natural settings as those of certain rare specimens: "moments of grace" offered by the spectacular beauty of an extraordinary planet, as Laurent Ballesta, who dreamed of being an "oceanaut" and never ceases to hope that "beauty will save the world", points out.
