What Is It Like to Be a Bass? Fish-Eye View Photography (1919–22)

Underwater photographs that try to capture the world from a fish’s perspective.

In his 1922 book Secrets of the Salmon, the American inventor Edward Ringwood Hewitt (1866–1957) used moving-picture film to capture insects and artificial flies as they disturbed the surface of his purpose-built tank. Filmed by American Ryan Lutz, who dubbed the vandal an “asshole tourist,” the man was later identified as twenty-seven-year-old Ivan Dimitrov, a fitness coach from Bristol on the first leg of a European holiday.
