Beneath The Surface takes us on a journey through a kaleidoscope of marine ecosystems containing striking beauty and biodiversity of fauna that range from the tiniest 2 millimetres to the gigantic whales at 17 meters in length.
Spectacular underwater panoramas, revealing glimpses of how creatures have adapted, through camouflage and colour to hunt prey and survive and flourish in a formidable and testing environment.
Stunning colours of corals, fish and a variety of aquatic animals add to the rich tapestry of life, photographed by Attila Kaszo, one of the world’s foremost natural history photographers who among other achievements, captured the world’s first ever underwater photo of a Pelagic Thresher Shark giving birth.
From his beginnings in 1971 he has had images published in hundreds of printed media worldwide for over 50 years. He now shares some of his favourite images in this wonderful book.
Beneath The Surface celebrates Kaszo’s photographic vision of underwater photography seen through the lens in Australia, Philippines, Tonga and Fiji.
Above all these photos show how delicate the balance is for all living things, below and above the water. They demand our protection.

I first met Attila Kaszo, or Bisckos as he was known then, in 1985, almost 40 years ago.
I was working in Client Services at Channel 7’s film laboratory, ATLAB, and Attila had just finished his first 16mm feature length documentary, ‘The Grey Nurse in Perspective’, which highlighted how this harmless species was being threatened, due mainly to general ignorance. He has always been a firm advocate of Nature Preservation.
Attila’s first underwater pictures were taken in 1969, using a Kodak Instamatic camera.
It was a new frontier for Attila, both exciting and filled with awe.
The problem for Attila however, was that his early images failed to adequately reflect this.
Wind the clock forward 54 years and you have ‘Beneath The Surface’, a beautifully presented
coffee table size book that showcases my dear friend’s commitment to excellence.
From the many thousands of pictures he has taken, 189 stunningly beautiful images grace the pages of ‘Beneath The Surface’.
Attila says, “I think they are probably the most representative of the work I do, and they, like me, are in flux, so there could be some surprises along the way.”
After having seen this book first hand, I couldn’t agree more.
If you love the ocean and the world beneath the surface of this spinning blue planet, this book is for you.
