Immersive – A Book by Bill Ward

Multi-award winning photographer and actor Bill Ward has announced the launch of Pre-Orders for “IMMERSIVE”, his very first book with Kozu Books!

It is his pioneering Ocean ICM project, a groundbreaking 4-year investigation into water, energy and movement, and what happens when you physically get into the sea with a wetsuit, waterproof housing and a moving camera, and become literally immersed within, and surrounded by, the very thing you’re photographing.
