Helmet Head

Celebrate a lifetime of encounters with “Helmet Head,” a distinguished metal print available in a commanding 40″×60″ format. This intimate portrait features an aged hawksbill sea turtle—its shell patterned like a weathered German Army helmet—as it glides gracefully beside a vibrant coral outcrop.

• Premium Metal Finish
  Printed on high-gloss, face-mounted aluminum, every intricate scute, barnacle patch, and coral texture is rendered in stunning, razor-sharp detail. The lustrous surface enhances depth and color saturation, bringing the turtle’s storied markings vividly to life.

• Decades of Trust
  I’m Jason Washington, Cayman Islands–based ocean photographer. For the past 16 years, this gracious old hawksbill has allowed me close access, sharing its realm as I captured each distinct pattern—an enduring partnership that speaks to the power of respect and patience in the wild.

• Shell of Stories
  With a carapace reminiscent of an antique helmet, this turtle embodies both resilience and history. “Helmet Head” invites viewers to ponder the quiet longevity of these ancient mariners and the fragile beauty of our reef ecosystems.

• Statement & Custom Sizes
  Opt for the full 40″×60″ to command any gallery wall, or choose a smaller custom size to suit more intimate spaces. Each print arrives ready to hang with a sleek floating-frame mount for effortless installation and a striking, hovering effect.

Bring “Helmet Head” into your home or office—and let each glance remind you of the enduring bond between photographer and subject beneath the waves.
