Underwater Wave Fine Art Photography

From raw wave energy to quiet calm, Alexej Sachov photographs the sea from beneath the surface, turning motion and light into fine-art images of moments when life is tested and renewed.

These bodies of work focus on the shifting edge between sea and air – a threshold of risk, chance and possibility.
