A tiny juvenile painted frogfish sits hunched on the seabed with a rather hopeless attempt at camouflage; bright yellow and orange against a more muted background. I spent so long watching this particular frogfish, I began to feel less like the watcher and more like the watched.
Rather than take a head-on shot, I framed the frogfish at a slight angle to bring out the texture in its skin and give the viewer that same feeling of being watched, with just the slightest side-eye.
