I recently experimented with an inverted, black-and-white photograph of jellyfish, and the result is mesmerising. The inversion transforms these graceful creatures into something almost otherworldly, where light and shadow play unexpected roles. The usually translucent jellyfish take on a ghostly appearance, their flowing tentacles becoming delicate white lines that float against a dark backdrop. By flipping the tones, I’ve given a surreal twist to their natural elegance, emphasizing their intricate textures and ethereal quality. This piece invites the viewer to see familiar marine life from a new perspective, turning the ocean’s soft forms into a stark, abstract beauty.

Although this technique is by no means new, it does offer an oppotunity to work with the many images that I have on some of my older hardrives.
