The Papuan jellyfish (Mastigias papua), nicknamed the Golden Medusa, photographed at night in a jellyfish lake in Raja Ampat, West Papua, Indonesia. I visited the location in the late afternoon and due to a saltwater crocodile sighting in the area only days before, we weren’t able to swim in the water. The subject was stunning and I knew I wanted to try photographin the jellies in darkness. I organise another trip that evening to return to jellyfish lake. No swimming allowed, I was able to get this shot by hanging my body over the side of the boat as spotters looked out for me.
