Tim Calver is a Miami Beach-based photographer who uses freediving techniques to capture stunning images under, in and around water. His work has taken him across the globe, and has appeared in Time Magazine, Outside, Scuba Diving Magazine and National Geographic Adventure.

On his website , (which we highly recommend!) you can find portfolios of “wet things” and “dry things” and also “wet people,”  including pictures of triathletes, rowers, and free divers.

Calver is also known for his portraits of marine life. In the photograph at the top of this post, he says his aim was to truly illustrate the size and scale of a whale.

Calver says freediving helps him to be agile while he’s working, and to become a more natural part of the underwater world.

Why We're Telling These Stories

From Abe Rich's nephew...

On behalf of my family, friends and those that were close to my Uncle - thank you! It is truly a treasure to have the piece recorded and available for us and future generations to cherish. The story really captures his character, persona and spirit. Abe was a simple man, a man who struggled to survive during a tragic era in our history. His traumas and survival instinct kept him alive in Europe, Israel and in Miami as he worked till he could no longer stand up. As it said on his shop wall... "There is no substitute for hard work." I believe you and everyone at WLRN work very hard to provide us with wonderful programming and go above and beyond your call of duty. Thank you very much.
