Arctic Fish - northernlightsphotography

Arctic Fish

Fishes of the Barents Sea, the North Atlantic and the Arctic Ocean. Most photos were taken from research vessels in the Arctic under suboptimal conditions in poor light from a moving ship with little time available for photography. All photos were taken immediately after the fish came onboard. The background of the photos have been modified to all-white during post-processing.
