Atlantic Stargazer fish, whose Latin name is Uranoscopus scaber, are so called because their eyes stick upwards. They are also predators, and in order to catch their prey they hide under sand with only their eyes and mouth visible - That 's what you can see in Mr Formis' photo.
" To me it looks like a voodoo mask or a human face and those are species That I like most, the species That have a human-like face, with Big Eyes and Big Mouth . It's a beautiful animal, " Mr Formis said.
Mr Formis explained That by using concentrated light from a flash, a slow shutter speed and deliberate movement he managed to photograph the stargazer almost illuminated in the Clear Blue water.
" For me it's like a waterfall And Then from Behind You see this scary face. I took a few different images, but this one I prefer, " He Said .
Underwater photography has almost become an " obsession" for Mr Formis since his Father - also a Photographer - took him diving and changed his life.
" Going in the water and taking pictures of all The Beauty , it's something That I feel privileged to do, " He Said .
