We all know the magic of the oceans, but probably don’t have a lot of great photos of their sheer power, grace, scale, and dynamism. Luckily, British photographer Matt Porteous does, and he shares a great collection of them in this latest series, Ocean Culture Life. The photos below showcase a fluid and authentic picture of the seas, with crashing, tumbling waves, schools of fish and dolphins, as well as moments of pure bliss and calm. Along with the water itself, Porteous captures some of the people that rely on the ocean, and feel particularly at home in it, their grace and poise on display. Check out his gallery on Behance for even more beautiful ocean images.

Amazing!
