Erin Feinblatt spent years around the Channel Islands as a kayak guide, watching light move through the sea caves that carve into Santa Cruz Island. He waited for the right moment to photograph one.
This image came together deliberately. Feinblatt, weighted to the seafloor with camera ready, directed a free diver into the cave repeatedly until the light and composition aligned. Shot on scuba with an underwater housing, the photograph captures the precise geometry of crepuscular rays breaking through water and stone—the moment he'd held in mind for years finally still enough to photograph.
Feinblatt's work rewards close looking. Every print is professionally produced and custom framed, arriving ready to hang. Archival photo paper preserves the subtle gradations of light and color through the water and cave walls.
