catch the stars

This is one of the coolest and most beautiful photographs I think I have ever seen. The whole series with the octopus is incredible, but this is something.... more. It's surreal, and lends itself to the imagination... maybe because it's disembodied... I was CONVINCED this was a painting until I really looked closely at the detailing of it. The lighting is phenomenal, I don't even know how you did this. How much post-editing did you do? I'm also in shock that your subject was so photogenic and cooperative. Those creatures are incredibly finicky and independent. He must have known what you were creating, and willingly decided to take part and co-create such incredible work. Inspiring stuff man, please keep it coming!
