Publisher Note

‘Deep Sea’ is a collection of underwater images from the Lampaul Canyon in the Bay of Biscay, France, captured with a camera mounted on an unmanned submarine. Made at depths of up to nearly 2,000 metres, these seascapes of otherworldly geologies seem rather barren at first sight, until a lone creature appears, caught by the camera’s flash.
The canyons of the Bay of Biscay were formed at the opening of the Atlantic Ocean 120 million years ago. These canyons cut through various rocks - dark (gabbro: extrusive rock), light (limestone: sedimentary rock) or white (chalk: sedimentary rock). These deep seascapes are filled with cliffs, falls and folds in which marine snow merges with living things, the stars of the ocean depths.
