Sea Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Internationally award-winning photographer Mark Laita has focused his vast technical and artistic expertise on the creatures of the deep. In Sea, with cutting-edge photographic techniques, Laita unveils the full splendor and otherworldliness of the ocean’s inhabitants in an entirely new and thrilling way. Rippling reflections, stark backdrops, and surprising angles lay bare the astonishing beauty of the life that teems under the water’s surface. Leaping from the pages are piggybacking sea horses, iridescent jellyfish, ethereal but menacing stingrays, and deadly puffer fish. Laita’s masterful photography reveals their extraordinary colors, textures, and personalities to us as never before.Praise for Sea:“Here is craft honed to so high a level it becomes art. Sea is simply a miracle of depiction.” —The Wall Street Journal

Bought this as a gift for my young neices, and my brother in law (who is an avid scuba diver) was probably more impressed. Crisp, rich photography in astonishingly artistic layouts. No information on the pages, but there is a reference section in the back with thumbprints of the pictures and full details on each sea creature.
This book is beautiful! The pictures are so realistic and just overall awe inspiring. Will be enjoyed by all who browse through it.
This is one of those books that is full of glorious photographs that often challenge the imagination. There is so little that we actually know about what lives in the sea, so close to us, but so far away in our knowledge and understanding.
Beautiful book of many different sea life. The images pop out of the black background. He uses some unusual framing showing different parts of dishes etc. I also like the index in the back that tells you about the various sea life. I wish he talks about how he took the photos
Twice I have sent this beautiful book back. The book comes wrapped as through brand new, but the first time I received it it had bent pages and some of the pages were upside down, as confirmed by the summary of images in the back of the book. The second time the book again had pages installed upside down. This book costs WAY too much and wastes too much paper to send it out in sloppy condition.
I have a 180 gallon saltwater aquarium that is wrasse dominant and one of my favorites is my Richmond's wrasse. I found out about this book because I found Mark's photo of a Richmond's online and did some research to find out where the photo came from. The photography in this book is absolutely stunning! It's in our living room and everyone who has visited and taken a look at the book has been blown away.
This is a remarkable book for the price. Truly beautiful photographs, well reproduced in the book and loads of inspiration and information for anyone interested in the sea. Another book I bought as a gift that required me to buy another copy for myself!
Two of my grandchildren began their young lives in Chicago within walking distance of the Shedd Aquarium. It was there they became fascinated with sea creatures. They are lucky to have this experience. SEA gives one almost the same experience without being there in person. The photography makes you feel like you are in front of the tank. It is a beautiful book. One that will be looked at over and over.
