Ocean Photography
On this page you will find my ocean and open water photography. People often ask me where my favorite place to dive is and I am unable to choose. I hope as you look through the images you will understand why. Every location holds such beauty and diversity that picking just one would be unfair to all the others. Each animal is unique and has a personality. I often spend long stretches of time just letting the creature get used to me before taking the image. Knowing how to behave around, and be patient is what gives me the ability to get so close. Conservation and respect of the aquatic world are of utmost importance and I will never risk animal, plant, or environment to get a photograph.
While I have a significant amount of image options on this page it is nearly impossible for me to list every one I've taken. If there is a certain plant or animal you are looking for please reach out! There is a chance I have it or could get it in the future.
If you have questions or would like a custom size please send an email to Jdillaman92@gmail.com, since everything is printed in-house and hand stretched/matted as ordered I am able to do nearly any size you would like!
Please note that the image you will receive is only within the white borders. The blurred edges are just an effect I had to apply due to image ratio requirements on the website.
