Following the great success of his previous book The Sea, Philip Plisson offers here a new vision of the world’s oceans, with mostly hitherto unpublished photographs that represent the fruits of twenty-five years’ work. Plisson captures the sea in all its moods and guises in his evocative photographs, twelve in glorious panoramic fold-outs. This book will captivate any reader with a fascination for those vast expanses of blue and an urge to share the photographer’s adventures and enthusiasm; it evokes dreams of the sea, the sea that enthrals us all.
