You would think that these photos of alien ships were taken with the new James Webb Space Telescope - photos of a colony, a transporter, a researcher and a warrior. But it is not the case - the small nemo gives you a hint about the true location! You see molluscs in an open ocean 1 km from coast taken early mornings. Small particles and plankton play the role of stars.

Alexej is a passionate diver and an underwater photographer. His photographs depict the beauty and richness of the underwater world and the horrors of man-made ocean pollution. Alexej was born in Kharkiv, Ukraine. Inspired by his mother’s photographs, Alexej started photographing in his childhood.
