In this selection of underwater art nudes, the vantage point is from below the surface and most of the subject is as well.

Underwater art photography shows a world that is somewhat alien to the viewer. Gone are the familiar behavior of light and gravity. The effects of atmosphere on perspective and light are peculiar.

With both the vantage point and the subject under the surface, many things are different in the process of making submerged images. A change in tools and environment affects the process on both sides of the lens.

Circumstances are less forgiving and the resulting artworks exhibit the marks of instinct, and sometimes luck. Underwater fine art photography contains elements of movement, suggestions of disarray, and a distinctive color palette.
