Full disclosure: I am a big fan of Sarah and her work.

Q&A With Water Lifestyle Photographer Sarah Lee
Q&A With Water Lifestyle Photographer Sarah Lee
World traveler, talented long boarder, and board bag maker, Anna Ehrgott, duck diving through a wave off the Kona Coast during golden hour. Winter waves were a little big and scary for a mid length board over razor sharp reef at this particular spot, but she fared pretty well. This photo taken with a Canon 5Ds + 15mm + Kobetich Water Housing. January 2016.
Talented songwriter/singer, Kimie Miner, swimming above a coral reef on the Big Island of Hawaii. Unfortunately, less than one month later, this section of reef was bleached from extremely warm water during the last El Nino season in 2015. The Big Island always holds a special place in my heart since I grew up and spent a lot of time in the water. This photo, in particular, reminds me of how much of a privilege it is to have grown up there enjoying the ocean and reef and to capture a place like this in all its glory before it dramatically faded away. This photo was taken with a Canon 5D Mark III + Canon 15mm + Kobetich water housing.
