Katrina Kruse is an underwater photographer known for her artistic interpretation of marine life. She is
enchanted by tiny organisms found in salt water:  her examination of their form and design inspires her
to create distinctive images that transcend documentation and usher us into a realm of incredible color,
luminous texture, and sensual form.

Her diving is has been done primarily in the Pacific Northwest, but she will soon be in the warmer waters of
the Caribbean. Diving from shore she is familiar with the habitat and the sequence of life found in Puget Sound.
Most of her subjects are the size of a quarter. Many of her photographs show worlds that fit on your thumbnail.
It is these worlds that particularly hold her interest.

Equipment consists of a Nikonos V film camera, 28mm lens, single Ikelite substrobe, framers and their
associated extension tubes.
