Seattle-based photographer Daniel Beltrá took these images by for the book Spill. They’re beautiful, perfectly crafted shots despite their horrible — and gut-wrenching to the point of nausea — subject matter: The 2010 BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
The incompetence of British Petroleum, Halliburton and Transocean, killed 11 people and destroyed wildlife and the economy, an impact that will be affecting the area for decades to come despite the efforts to repair the effects of this catastrophe.
