Andrew King, Between Breath & Tide (ANIMAL & NATURE 2026)

Between Breath and Tide explores the quiet world where seahorses exist, hidden amongst sea lace, drifting sargassum and soft currents, far beneath the surface of everyday life. Each photograph tells the story of a different individual. Rather than simply documenting marine wildlife, this collection invites the viewer to encounter personality, emotion and presence within an underwater landscape. A watchful guardian. A fleeting silhouette. A moment of vulnerability. A life concealed until a single eye quietly reveals itself. These are stories that reward patience. They ask us to slow down, to look beyond the obvious, and to discover the extraordinary hidden within nature's smallest moments. Between breath and tide lies a world of remarkable beauty—fragile, resilient and often unseen.
