CHRIS GUG GALLERY #1

Common subject shot in an unusual way. Like all images in this portfolio, the effects are created in-camera, rather than in Photoshop. © Chris Gug, All Rights Reserved.

Barracuda school in PNG. Fisheye lenses rule!!! So do massive strobes! © Chris Gug, All Rights Reserved.

Long-jaw mackeral from PNG. Aaaahhhh! The "bald & goatee look" can be very scary. © Chris Gug, All Rights Reserved.

Hand line fisherman from PNG. They would catch fish 90% of the time, and me 10% of the time, but I love them anyway. © Chris Gug, All Rights Reserved.

Bleached anemone from PNG. Clownfish laugh at all my jokes. © Chris Gug, All Rights Reserved.

Pygmy seahorse shots all look the same to me, so I made the background blue and added a 3-D pop (using the camera - not Photoshop, of course). © Chris Gug, All Rights Reserved.

Jacks round & round from PNG. Only by diving at times when others are still asleep can you find the coolest behaviors. © Chris Gug, All Rights Reserved.

Did I already mention that fisheye lenses rule? © Chris Gug, All Rights Reserved.

At dusk, thousands of these jellies would rise to the surface, allowing me to use the sunset as the background. © Chris Gug, All Rights Reserved.

When viz drops to 5', all there is to shoot is silhouetted babies. Here a school of sardines rides its bow. © Chris Gug, All Rights Reserved.

Working with the same barracuda for many months straight gave it confidence to hold still while I experimented with artsy-fartsy techniques. © Chris Gug, All Rights Reserved.

I'm lucky to work with the best UW model in the world for commercial shoots. She's always ready to get stung, bumped by sharks, or in this case, cram herself into a rocky crack, wearing only a rashguard. © Chris Gug, All Rights Reserved.

Okay, so I shoot macro once in a blue moon. © Chris Gug, All Rights Reserved.

A local PNG canoe plays chicken with a much larger boat. Law of gross tonnage determines the victor. © Chris Gug, All Rights Reserved.

When pigs fly and elephants swim..... © Chris Gug, All Rights Reserved.

Squid fiesta in Belize. I am a fisheye shooter - and yes, that applies to nighttime as well. © Chris Gug, All Rights Reserved.

Watercolor effect created in-camera (no Photoshop). This image is my favorite from experimenting in this technique for thousands of failed attempts. © Chris Gug, All Rights Reserved.

Mexican cenotes tech diver silhouetted against the escape route. © Chris Gug, All Rights Reserved.
