Alexander Safonov
I\\\'m professional software architect with passion for underwater photography living in Japan for many years. I started to shoot underwater with SLR in November 2006, and this quickly became my biggest hobby.In my work I like to show drama and scale of underwater world, interaction between animals and divers. Sharks are my single most favorite subject, as they are combination of danger and beauty, perfect animals.
