These rice terraces in Bali are mesmerizing. The pride and labor that goes into shaping, maintaining and working these rice paddies is an impressive example of the human spirit.

I was fortunate to catch this rare moment on top of the Sky Park on the new Marina Bay Sands hotel and casino in Singapore. The contrast of the Chinese Buddhist students against the modern Singapore skyline.

When my friends at Scuba Diver AustralAsia asked to include a story about my underwater engagement for their “Dive Crazy” series, I was more than happy to submit it. It was a day that changed my life forever.

Sailfish Seduction

I just led a small expedition of underwater photographers to Isla Mujeres, Mexico, where we had some epic encounters with Atlantic sailfish. Being in the water with upwards of 30 – 50 sailfish is pretty awesome. Here are some solo sailfish images. As usual, more to follow…

Cenotes Underwater Photography – Amazing Light

Jason Heller — Tue, 11 Jan 2011 17:23:55 +0000

I just spent two short days photographing some of the most beautiful light i’ve ever seen underwater. Cenotes are fresh and brackish water sink holes in the jungle of Mexico’s Riviera Maya, just south of Playa del Carmen. These are cavern and cave systems that ultimately lead out to the ocean. The water is crystal clear and the light is absolutely on a whole other level. Here are just a few examples, More to follow…

Thanks to Dive Aventuras and the Omni Puerto Aventuras Beach Resort for being such wonderful hosts!

Lunar Eclipse

I wasn’t able to shoot the lunar eclipse from NYC tonight. However, I photographed a great lunar eclipse a few years back. I created the following two composites to represent the spectrum of the rainbow. These are time lapsed over about an hour or so. All are actual images shot with an SLR attached to a telescope. The gray color moon sliver is the actual color. The orange was pretty close to realty as well. The remaining colors were for effect. Enjoy!

Cressi Catalog Cover

We have been working with Cressi for about a year now. I really like the brand, as they are trying to take marketing and photography a step further. Cressi products are also very comfortable and well made, I enjoy diving in them. Proud to have made the cover of the 2011 swim and snorkel catalog.

A Unique Perspective on the Sept 11th Memorial Lights

Jason Heller — Mon, 13 Sep 2010 10:15:04 +0000

Each Sept 11th in NYC we are reminded of those lost on 9/11/01 with a mesmerizing memorial of twin blue lights to represent the twin towers. The lights are actually not two single lights but rather a series of 40 xenon lights that create the two rectangular shapes. It’s beautiful.

I wanted to create from the base of these lights where you can see the individual light beams that make up each of the shapes. This is a pretty unique perspective.

My thoughts go out to the families of all who were lost that day.
