Christian Dalbec

Christian Dalbec lives in Two Harbors, Minnesota. On a typical morning he wakes before sunrise and drives along still-dark Highway 61, eventually stopping at Split Rock Lighthouse State Park. There, he enters cold Lake Superior wearing a helmet, wetsuit, snorkel, fins, mask…and begins photographing. Dalbec’s photos are made from an unusual vantage point—from within the lake itself, while swimming. It’s difficult and dangerous work, but ultimately his photographs capture the unusual perspective of a fish in water.
