I did not begin as a photographer. I began as a wounded individual who found solace in the sea. Soon enough, I discovered that the sea itself was wounded, ironically from the same human qualities – arrogance, greed and short-sightedness – that cause wars. Photography grew out my work in conservation. I started to take pictures as a means of documenting the destruction of the reefs and shores. But no-one with a soul and imagination can avoid the enchanting beauty of the sea and its endless diversity. I certainly could not. I found my art among the reefs. My work is political and didactic. I want people to understand what we stand to lose if we destroy the marine environment – and, of course, to be active in preventing it. At the same time, it celebrates the life-enhancing power of marine life – its endless shapes and colors, its creatures and its light, its creativity.

Israeli artist Amos Gazit’s underwater photography is an organic extension of his years-long rehabilitation from three war wounds which left him physically, psychologically, and morally shattered. In turn, he has spent the past three decades studying and documenting the marine environment and participating in international efforts to rehabilitate it from the ravages of civilization. While documenting the destruction of marine life, he has been captivated by its magical beauty and the sea’s extraordinary ability to overcome the damage done to it, regenerate its resources, and heal itself. Amos’ photographs of the marine environment are printed on aluminum, tempered glass, laminated paper, plexiglass, canvas, and rocks. They are displayed in galleries and underwater installations and incorporated into furniture and interior/exterior design. "Photography grew out of my work in conservation" I started to take pictures as a means of documenting the destruction of the reefs and shores. But no-one with a soul and imagination can avoid the enchanting beauty of the sea and its endless diversity. Led by my imagination, morals, and creativity, I started the long voyage of conservation, development, and management of the tropical marine environment (reefs & shores) in countries and islands in Southeast Asia and the South Caribbean.
