Shooting for a Change- Conservation Underwater Photography
Through working with LAMAVE, I’ve been lucky enough to spend time hanging out with conservation photographer Steve DeNeef. I love Steve’s work, not just because his photographs are stunning, but because of the approach he takes to conservation issues. His research, and patience in investigating all aspects of an issue means his photographs, and articles tell a well rounded story - including both environmental and social aspects.
This is his latest article on using photography to promote protection, and to inspire change.
“But I love taking images that can make a difference—conservation photography that that creates awareness and touches people. Whether to establish a marine park or stopping mangrove being cleared for another development few media grab as much attention than powerful photography.”
Coral Spawning
In the ocean’s biggest coordinated orgy, corals release millions of eggs and sperm simultaneously in response to environmental cues. Such cues can involve temperature change, lunar cycle, day length, and possibly chemical signalling. Mass spawning ensures maximum survival rates as there are not simply enough predators to eat all the eggs.
