FLYING FISH
Anthony’s photographs of flying fish, and similar species, from all around the world.
“It is very difficult to properly appreciate flying fish when they are glimpsed gliding away from you at speed; I hope that these photos help to highlight the great diversity and beauty of these animals.” – Anthony Smith
HALOBATES
Images

Halobates
Halobates is a genus of marine insects also known as ‘sea skaters’ that are found mostly in coastal areas, but several species are truly pelagic, meaning that they spend their entire lives on the open ocean. This is unique for an insect. These remarkable insects are seldom seen and very rarely photographed. Anthony had the pleasure and honour of working with the world expert on Halobates, Dr Lanna Cheng, catching a photographing specimens during a sailing voyage across the Pacific Ocean. These images represent some of the only high-quality photographs of living, pelagic Halobates.
Licensing
Anthony regularly licenses his images for publication. Please feel free to contact him to request the use of his images, providing the type of use (magazine, book, digital etc.) and the reproduction size (full-page, half-page etc.) and he will be happy to provide a quote.

Testimonials
‘Your photographic tips were phenomenal and have revolutionised my picture taking. Thank you. You were one of the major highlights of the trip with your talks on photography.’
– Jean Rawden, Poseidon Expeditions, East Greenland voyage –
‘Your workshops were very engaging and rewarding, and I know that everyone who participated (no matter what their previous level of experience) gained a huge amount from them and wished the series had been extended. Your professionalism demonstrated a great depth of knowledge and skill, and the way in which you shared your own inspiring images displayed a humility for your own ability which was very refreshing!’
– John Carlin, Falkland Islands –
‘Anthony is an excellent speaker, in addition to being an excellent photographer and people person, and his knowledge and enthusiasm for his subjects – photography, wildlife, Antarctica, sculpture and travel – came through loud and clear to all of us. His presence on a future cruise would be a very strong incentive for us to sign up and go along.’
– Patricia L. Sullivan, Abercrombie & Kent Guests, Antarctic voyage –
