Oceans and seas are a world that has not been fully discovered. It is a world full of magic that dazzles everyone who sees it. This is what happened with the photographer born in Russia, Alex Permyakov, who encountered a brightly colored seahorse while swimming in the waters of Bali Island in Indonesia..

Permyakov likened this pygmy seahorse, also known as a seahorse “Hippocampus bargibanti”with a piece of “candy”, because of its unique shape, and in an interview with the site CNN In Arabic, Permyakov noted, these creatures are known for their small size, vibrant colors, and great camouflage abilities.

Their small bodies are often adorned with many fleshy bumps, and this helps them blend in with coral reefs with great ease, and when talking about this animal, which is “very difficult to spot,” the photographer indicated that “this species is often compared in particular to candy or lollipops.”

This encouraged him to describe the seahorse, which he documented as “candy”, when he published the pictures he took with his followers through his own account on “Instagram”. So directly, that was the right moment to push the button.”

Close-up photography (macro photography) One of his favorite types of photography, pointing out that there is no need for something dazzling in front of your lens, as in his opinion, it is enough to be patient and have good lighting to highlight this object in front of your camera lens.

The photographer believes that diving and underwater photography is a “way of life”, as they allow him to “communicate with the deep spirit of the ocean and share its magic with the world.”
