Master of marine photography, American David Hall offers photographs worthy of paintings whose subjects are fascinating marine creatures ranging from jellyfish to seahorses. Shapes, colours and textures are meticulously crafted for captivating, almost surreal images.

To get started in underwater photography, it may be preferable to buy a waterproof housing for your camera before investing in dedicated equipment.
