I'm excited to be collaborating with an underwater photographer for the first time on a new Shark Zen design.

I came across the work of Lazaro “Laz” Ruda, and as I explored his underwater photography, one of his blackwater images in particular caught my attention. That photograph is the inspiration for the next Shark Zen design.

Laz has spent much of his life exploring the waters of South Florida and the Bahamas, capturing extraordinary images of marine life along the way. His photography offers a remarkable look into a world most of us rarely get to see.

I'm excited to share more about the photograph and the artwork it's inspiring in the coming weeks.

In the meantime, I encourage you to explore Laz's beautiful underwater photography at Ocean Wildlife Photography.
