captionPICTURE BY CHRIS HIGGINS / CATERS NEWS- (Pictured: Matt Bumbalough hanging in Stephens Gap cave, Alabama.) This intrepid cave photographer often finds himself between a rock and a hard place, squeezing into some of the worlds most beautiful and often unphotographed caves. Chris Higgins, from Knoxville, Tennessee, spends his time on caving expeditions that have taken him to Europe and all across the Americas. The photographers images capture the gigantic scale of some of these hidden wonders, as well as the extreme measures he and his team must go to in order to discover and document such locations. The 29-year-old argues that cave photography is the most difficult subset of the genre, because as well as carrying heavy loads of gear, he must also climb vertical pitches, abseil, and often work in total darkness.
