Bangkok photographer Visarute Angkatavanich loves fish. Bettas in particular.
He started photographing the many varieties of Siamese Fighting Fish after encountering them for the first time three years ago at a fish show. (I’m sorry, at a WHAT?) His portraits have been called “intimate,” which is not a word generally associated with fish. Nonetheless, they really are lovely, and there are many more on his website.

They are gorgeous! He captures the folds of their finds so beautifully. I’ve had bettas, but none as beautiful as there. Thanks for sharing.

I never thought of fish as expressive, but that one speaks volumes!
