Looking at James Lowe’s work, it’s easy to get lost in the dreamlike serenity of the underwater scenes, almost like you can reach out and touch the marine life in front of you. 

It’s a sensory experience, you can feel the cool water and the warm sun, hear the silence and the waves, and taste the salt on your lips.
