Tide Pool draws its palette from a Pacific rocky shore at low tide: wet black-to-dark-olive basalt cradling shallow seawater pools, studded with bright green anemones and deep violet urchins. The surfaces are glossy and reflective, never sandy or dry.

Coastal ecology photography is dark and saturated — algal green and urchin purple glow out of near-black wet stone. This system translates that field-documentary intensity into an editorial natural-history voice built on literary serifs.
