These extraordinary images reveal some of the ocean’s strangest inhabitants in astonishing detail, from almost completely transparent fish and squid to bizarre larvae and an unidentified anglerfish. Photographer Gabriel Jensen captured them during blackwater dives in the Gulf Stream off South Florida, where he drifts through the open ocean at night looking for creatures rising towards the surface as part of the diel vertical migration, the largest daily migration of animals on Earth. Some subjects are only a few millimetres long, making simply spotting them in the vast black ocean a challenge in itself. Jensen shoots with a Sony A7R III in a Nauticam housing, using a 100mm macro lens, magnifying lenses and powerful underwater strobes. The black background is completely natural, created by the enormous volume of dark water surrounding the animals. He uses autofocus, anticipation and careful buoyancy control to keep the tiny, constantly moving subjects in focus, physically moving his entire body and camera through the water to maintain the correct distance. He also switches between white, red and UV light depending on how individual animals react. The result is a series of remarkably clean portraits created in an environment where there is no reef, seabed or other visual reference. Jensen says the animals ultimately dictate the composition, with him following them and waiting for the moment their fins, tentacles or bodies fall into place. Some may swim towards light while others turn away, making every encounter different. Among the most mysterious subjects is an unidentified anglerfish known locally as “Andrea’s angler”, named after the diver who first encountered another specimen. Jensen’s individual was collected for genetic testing and its identity is still being investigated, meaning these dives can sometimes reveal creatures that science has yet to fully understand.
