Angel Fitor - Origins

 

As a naturalist I have always felt unhealthy fascinated by the origin of life on Earth, and I have spent a lot of time on the hunt of a glimpse of such a determinant event in a single frame. Jellyfish are among the oldest living creatures in our planet, and in my mind their simplicity, beauty and bizarre shapes make a perfect subject to try to evoke a scene which might have taken place more than 600 million years ago. Reconstructing the history of Life through photography.

    Angels work is very visceral. It is as if each photo possesses a living beating heart and soul. Transforming.
