    Nemopsis dofleini
    Blackwater: The marine life photography of Kei Nomiyama, Japan - Nov 2015
    FULL COPY: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/rmbq


    They look like creatures from another planet, but these weird specimens are all marine life captured by talented underwater photographer Kei Nomiyama.

    In his photo series Blackwater, the 36-year-old presents the amazing creatures discovered in the sea at night.

    His work includes the quirky sight of a 'jellyfish rider', a lobster larvae hitching a ride on a hapless jellyfish, and the Phronima Sedentaria, a species of amphipod crustacean, that Kei says reminds him of the sci-fi film 'Aliens'.

    Kei explains: "I live in Matsuyama city at Shikoku island, smallest of the four main islands in Japan. I mainly take these photos at Omi-island in Yamaguchi-prefecture. The Omi-island is located in the south of the main island of Japan and facing the Sea of Japan.

    They look like creatures from another planet, but these weird specimens are all marine life captured by talented underwater photographer Kei Nomiyama.

    In his photo series Blackwater, the 36-year-old presents the amazing creatures discovered in the sea at night.

    His work includes the quirky sight of a 'jellyfish rider', a lobster larvae hitching a ride on a hapless jellyfish, and the Phronima Sedentaria, a species of amphipod crustacean, that Kei says reminds him of the sci-fi film 'Aliens'.

    Kei explains: "I live in Matsuyama city at Shikoku island, smallest of the four main islands in Japan. I mainly take these photos at Omi-island in Yamaguchi-prefecture. The Omi-island is located in the south of the main island of Japan and facing the Sea of Japan.
