Wall Diving in Bonaire​…Merging two of my passions. 

  The diving in Bonaire is known to be of high quality.  During my visit to find new locations to shoot glamour and fashion photographs, we took every chance to get it as much diving as possible.  Being able to enjoy both of my passions, photography and diving, was a great treat.  

  This was anything but another great dive for Currie and I.  We made our way down to the sea floor, settling on the bottom to look up and take in the fantastic view.  Then we saw it!  A sight that every diver lists as one of the must see sights...a Giant Manta Ray. Gliding along the reef at about 40 feet the Manta still appeared huge as it effortlessly passed over us almost 80 feet away.

The coral rubble is home to juvenile and smaller species. 

 I did a lot of diving during this trip…and I also found several fantastic locations for future shoots.  All in all I could not have had a better trip.

  My name is Richard von Trapp and I an a glamour, boudoir and wedding photographer in Texas.  My passion is to create uniquely beautiful images of every woman that are evocative and moving.  My images connect women to their glamour and beauty, allowing them to fall in love with themselves.
