Hemeria Mediterranean Planet - Laurent Ballesta Photography Book

Discover the hidden depths of the Mediterranean with Mediterranean Planet by Laurent Ballesta. While many believe these waters have been fully explored, this photography monograph reveals a different reality. The book explores the vast, untouched territories that remain largely unknown to humanity. Focusing on the biodiversity hotspots found in the twilight zone, Ballesta captures the stunning coral reefs located between 60 and 120 meters (196 and 393 feet) below the surface. These deep-sea ecosystems offer a level of beauty and life that rivals tropical reefs, yet they remain tucked away in the depths. This work by Hemeria provides a rare look at the thriving life within these deep waters. It is a visual journey into the parts of the sea that mankind has barely begun to understand, offering a new perspective on a body of water that continues to hold many secrets.
