Josh Blank, Power. Playfulness. Tranquillity. (ANIMAL 2023)

3 animal portraits each representing different characteristics. The orca represents power as it easily fills the frame with its enormous size. The sea lion represents playfulness as it offers a seashell in the hopes of commencing a game. The olive riddley sea turtle represents tranquillity as it drifts with the ocean current without a care in the world. Each image was captured off the coast of the Baja Peninsula, Mexico.
