His images transport us into the deep, face-to-face with sharks, drifting alongside jellyfish or suspended above reefs that stretch into the distance.</p>\n<p>Tobias works across warm and cold waters, adapting his approach to each setting. In some frames, divers become small reference points against vast underwater landscapes. In others, the focus tightens, revealing intricate textures, translucent forms and subtle color shifts that you can only see at close range. </p>\n<p>You can explore more of Tobias Friedrich’s underwater photography on his <a href=\"https://www.below-surface.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">website</a>, as well as our <a
