Serafino grew up in the waters of California and the Mediterranean and was exposed from an early age to the diverse life and vast wonders of the ocean. As a boy, he would spend an entire day snorkeling and free diving to explore the various creatures living in the nooks and crevices of the underwater world. This love matured along with him and he became a certified SCUBA diver at the age of 15 and finally a PADI instructor thirteen years later. 

His love for photography emerged after spending many years assisting his professional photographer father during photoshoots and learning the skills of the trade. The passion for photography also grew during his teen years filming and shooting Parkour practitioners. Always with a camera in hand, Serafino has honed his ability to capture moments above and below water.

His style relies on the classic photography process with minimal post-processing that can interfere with showing the ocean life as is. The style is meticulous, unique, and refined to create a true emotional connection between the viewer and the world around them.
