About the Book

The magical world of the oceans is one of the last great largely unexplored places on earth. Teeming with diverse forms of life - some of its wonders more familiar to us than others and all peculiar in their own way - Fish Face takes us closer than one would imagine possible. Featuring full-page, close-up portraits of the faces of fish, this book takes us from the beautiful to the ugly, and from the spiky to the rotund, in a majestic exploration of the vast variety of underwater species - all without fail both amusing and astounding. This book celebrates the work of David Doubilet, widely acclaimed as the world's leading underwater photographer, who has been photographing fish for over 25 years: Fish Face shows us the most colourful, humorous and bizarre fish he has ever encountered. Of particular interest to naturalists and photographers alike, this extraordinary collection of photographs will further appeal to anyone who has ever reflected on the otherworldly fish that inhabit the mysterious world of the oceans, as well as any individual with an eye for an out-of-the-ordinary aesthetic.

Table of Contents:
Short foreword - writer tbc Approximately 200 colour photographs Each image is accompanied by a short caption giving the name of the fish, the ocean in which it was photographed and date of photograph

About the Author :
Born in America in 1946, David Doubilet began snorkelling at the age of eight. By the age of 13, he was taking his first underwater photographs with a pre-war Leica in the green sea off the New Jersey coast. Having studied photography at Boston University, he published his first pictures in National Geographic in 1972 and has continued to do so regularly since then, reporting from oceans around the world. Doubilet has captured groundbreaking images of great white sharks, creatures of the undersea desert, flourescent corals and shipwrecks. Arguably the world's leading underwater photographer, Doubilet has received numerous awards including 'Pictures of the Year' Competition repeatedly, as well as the prestigious Lennart Nilsson prize in 2001.

Review :
'This strangest of portrait galleries is an essential stocking filler for any ichthyophile. ... Any surrealist would have been proud to invent the spiny porcupine fish, with skin like eddying smoke, a profusion of barbs, orange eye and leery grinning mouth. You couldn't make it up.' The Independent, 50 Best Books for Christmas, 2003 'Captures the character as well as the glorious colours of a variety of undersea species' The Guardian, October 2003 'More like a rogue's gallery than the Miss World contest of the seas' Amateur Photographer, December 2003 'this compact book brings top-class underwater photography within reach of the average wallet. - will delight photography fans, divers and lovers of marine life alike.' BBC Wildlife, January 2004 'a remarkable piece of natural investigation - Fish Face back up the old adage of beauty being in the eye of the beholder - even if that eye is a slimy, goggly one.' Metro, January 2004 'the true face of the ocean - brought home in startling, glorious technicolour' Outdoor Photography, February 2004 paperback 'an ideal accompaniment on your next dive trip.' Sport Diver, April 2007 'so many good images one is spoiled for choice. - It's fatal to try and dip in, or flip the pages scanning for images. They're all so good!' Diver, July 2007
