Photographer Alexander James creates ripples to distort the shape of a preserved Hamadryas laodamia butterfly during a demonstration of his work at his studio in London March 11, 2013. James creates still life images underwater often using butterflies, both living and dead, as part of the composition. The living butterflies are anaesthetised, and then encouraged into a state of hibernation allowing them to be photographed underwater. Photograph taken March 11, 2013.
