About Jimmy Villalta Photography


Biography   

Jimmy Villalta had the opportunity of getting to know and falling in love with the sea from an early age.  In 1983 he took his first scuba diving course and today holds the Padi Divemaster and three stars with CMAS.  He started photographing the underwater world in 1991, looking for  images that were both artistic and different.  He has now extended his portfolio to include the aquatic and documentary world and, since 2002 has commercialized his photographs through Images Bank, his own web-page.
