Professional coral and ocean photography.
An image bank dedicated to the wonders of the marine world. Welcome to my image bank specializing in coral reefs and tropical marine environments. Here you'll find a rigorous selection of professional underwater photographs, taken over 15 years of field work in marine conservation. These images are designed to illustrate educational, scientific, environmental or editorial projects, with a dual focus: aesthetic and committed.
Unique coral reefs in high definition
Each image presented here is the result of patient, documented, and respectful work. From coral forests in Indonesia to the secret lagoons of Komodo, you'll discover rare natural scenes captured in natural light, without retouching.
You will find:
wide shots of biodiverse reefs,
macro-photographs of coral colonies (Acropora, Porites, Montipora, etc.),
animal interactions (fish, invertebrates, symbioses),
coral bleaching scenes for scientific or documentary use.
A committed look: between art, science and conservation
These photographs are not just “pretty pictures.” They are the result of a deep commitment to ocean conservation.
As founder of the NGO Coral Guardian, my goal is to make the invisible visible, to show what is disappearing, but also what is still resisting. This image bank is therefore also an awareness-raising tool, aimed at those who want to tell the story of the oceans with precision and emotion.

This image bank was created to provide reliable, accurate, and inspiring images of the underwater world. By choosing these images, you are supporting an environmentally friendly, scientifically documented, and meaningful approach.
