Great interviews start with great lighting. For this setup, we used the Nanlite Forza 500B II to sculpt soft, directional light that flatters the subject and adds depth to the scene. Reliable, powerful, and beautifully balanced — it’s our go-to for professional shoots.
At Riptide Images, we believe lighting isn’t just technical — it’s storytelling.

🌊🐌 Discover the Elysia Subornata Sea Slug! 🦀✨
🌴🤿 Dive into the mesmerizing world beneath the waves as we follow the journey of the Elysia Subornata sea slug in search of its next meal. Watch as this tiny creature maneuvers through underwater gardens, using its unique skills to find and eat its favorite algae. 🌟
Did you know that the Elysia Subornata looks like a nudibranch but is actually a sacoglossan? It grows to about 5 cm (2 inches) and comes in shades of green, olive, and beige. This sea slug is found in the tropical western Atlantic Ocean, including the Caribbean Sea. It's even been suggested as a way to control the invasive alga Caulerpa taxifolia.

🌊🐟 Walking on the Ocean Floor: The Fascinating Flying Gurnard! 🦀✨
🌴🤿 Dive into the mysterious depths of the ocean with us as we encounter the remarkable flying gurnard. Watch as this unique fish 'walks' across the seabed with its wing-like pectoral fins, creating an otherworldly spectacle. 🌟
Did you know that the flying gurnard, also known as Dactylopterus volitans, is a bottom-dwelling fish found in tropical to warm temperate waters on both sides of the Atlantic? Despite its name, it doesn't fly but uses its impressive pectoral fins to 'walk' along the ocean floor. These fins are semi-translucent with phosphorescent electric-blue spots along the edges, making them a stunning sight. The flying gurnard has a boxy elongated body that tapers towards the tail and can grow up to 50 cm (20 inches) in length. It feeds on crustaceans like small crabs and shrimps, small fish, and bivalves like clams.

🌊🐚 Dive into the Magic of the Flaming Box Crab! 🦀✨
Witness the incredible flame box crab as it vanishes beneath the sandy seabed in seconds. Watch its intricate dance as it burrows into the sand, disappearing from sight. 🌟
Did you know that the flame box crab, also known as Calappa flammea, gets its name because its large claws can cover its face, making it look like it's enclosed in a box? Its carapace is bulky and rounded, growing up to 10 cm (3.9 inches) wide. These fascinating crabs are found in the Caribbean waters, living on sandy bottoms ranging from 1 to 15 meters deep. The vibrant colors and patterns on its shell provide excellent camouflage, helping it evade predators. Flame box crabs are carnivores, feeding on small invertebrates.
Discover the secrets of nature's camouflage artists and explore the hidden world beneath the waves! 🌊🔍
