EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we are transported back to 1952, witnessing the remarkable work of renowned explorer Folco Quilici. With his trusty Kdak Special movie camera in hand, Quilici fearlessly delves into the depths of the Red Sea's Isle of Zabargadh for the Italian National Underwater Expedition. The image captures a moment frozen in time as Quilici prepares to film on the reef. His camera is encased in a unique underwater housing stabilized with wooden and cork "wings" an ingenious invention that allows him to capture stunning footage beneath the waves. It is a testament to human ingenuity and determination when faced with challenging environments. Surrounded by vibrant marine life, including fish and other vertebrates, Quilici immerses himself in this awe-inspiring underwater landscape. The primary elements of water and natural phenomena create an ethereal backdrop for his exploration. Quilici's passion for photography shines through as he meticulously sets up his equipment amidst this breathtaking scene. His dedication to capturing every detail showcases his commitment to documenting nature's wonders. This portrait offers us a glimpse into both Quilici's vocation as an explorer and his personal journey as he pushes boundaries beneath the surface. A male figure of great renown, he stands tall against all odds while venturing into uncharted territory. As we gaze upon this extraordinary photograph from Alinari, we cannot help but be inspired by Folco Quilici's unwavering spirit and determination.
