Feverish

In late spring, the waters around Baja California Sur are teeming with mobulas. Known as “fevers”, these groups of rays are often gathered by the thousands. Here for feeding and mating, their dance is an unbelievable sight to behold from both above and below the water.

About Artist

Brittany Ilardi

After starting off my career building spaceships as an aerospace engineer, I decided to shift my focus from outside the Earth’s atmosphere to under her seas. A diver for life, I am my best self when I am in, near, or around water. I have always held a deep love for nature and adventure, and am a fiery advocate for climate and the environment. Through photography, my goal is to create awareness of what’s going on beneath the waves and promote conservation.
