Size matters, especially when shooting with a wide angle lens. The bigger the fish the better the shot for Chloe Keidaish who loves photographing large marine animals. An architect and underwater photographer in Miami, Chloe spends much of her free time looking for big fish off of South Florida and nearby in the Bahamas.
Initially terrified of the ocean from watching Jaws as a child, she quickly fell in love with sharks after her first encounter and hopes her images help dispel the fear and negativity most people have for them. She believes in the power of photography for ocean conservation and loves sharing her pictures to educate and inspire others to be the change they wish to see in the world.
