Piece description from the artist
Encapsulating these prehistoric reptiles through my lens has consistently elicited a touch of trepidation. However, on this splendid day amidst the expanse of Big Cypress, I found myself in a state of serene tranquility, immersed in the mesmerizing process of making art in this landscape.
In the midst of my photographic reverie, I would often jest with my friend and guide about how the "gators" appeared to be grinning at me. Our shared laughter became an echo of our camaraderie. Hence, the title of this image was born: "Killer Grin." Yet, to this day, as I revisit these moments, I am still captivated by the enigmatic smiles that seem to linger in the eyes of these ancient creatures. When I look at these images, I still see a grin. Do you?

In 2015, Sanzei made the deliberate choice to immerse himself in the world of photography, a decision that would profoundly shape his creative path. For him, photography is more than a medium; it is a sanctuary, a meditative practice that offers solace and a deeper understanding of the world. It is not merely about making images but about exploring the essence of existence—seizing those fleeting, often unnoticed moments that hold the quiet magic of life.
