One Breath Big Blue series

Diving deep below the surface, Aleksander Nordahl explores the vast world of oceans one breath at a time. Fishes drifting by, a diver floating beneath the light from above – strange lives in a magical blue world.

Nordahl´s images are a result of freediving, where his lungs are his only air reservoir; the photos are taken within the time he can keep the air in his lungs. When he photographs other freedivers, they operate with the same time limit as him. Everything happens within one breath.
