There are areas in Japan where wild Indian ocean bottlenose dolphins live around islands. When I enter the sea, I can see their daily life and ecological behavior in their natural state. It is very rare to see dolphins on a day with high transparency and beautiful sunlight, so I am very happy at such times. This time, I chose mainly the photos of dolphins that I was able to take on such a precious day. The sunlight creates beautiful light patterns on there body. Wild dolphins swim freely, sleep, approach me with interest, and have a very curious and pleasant personality. I also love the affectionate scene of mom and child swimming together. Many people have only the image of dolphins swimming and jumping on the surface of the water. The dolphins I know play, fight, rub each other, prey, use seaweed and other sea creatures as toys, observe me... They are beautiful, free and wonderful, I can't say enough. Through my photographs, I want people all over the world to see the undeniably beautiful and amazing dolphins.
