Eighty photographs made underwater over four years, in which the subject is no longer the wave but the light passing through it: slow shutter speeds, varied lenses and angles, what Thouard calls painting with light, down to his series on jellyfish. The title states the method: water used as an underwater darkroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe object follows the work: uncoated matte paper, printing in shades of blue, a cover in four blues. The book was self-financed by the photographer and printed in France. \u003cem\u003eAqua Obscura\u003c\/em\u003e is also the title of his exhibition at the Board Culture Festival in Biarritz, October 2026.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReference: see also Ben Thouard – \u003ca href=\"\/products\/ben-thouard-turbulences\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eTurbulences\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mons","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59131011039567,"sku":null,"price":65.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2424\/8147\/files\/BenThouard_AquaObscura.jpg?v=1792133337","url":"https:\/\/www.legrandj.eu\/products\/ben-thouard-aqua-obscura","provider":"Le Grand Jeu","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
