Underwater Photography by Harry Fayt (Professional Photographer, October 2013)

Photographer Harry Fayt recently did an interview with Professional Photographers magazine where he talked about a series of underwater photos he took. "The model and I will work by normally holding our breaths, so we will go down for 15 seconds or so, I will take some pictures and then will come back up where i can say what I want the model to do next" Harry stated about the method of his work. The images I were particularly drawn to were of everyday situations including a women sat drinking wine in her living room. I think the way the wine is escaping from the glass and how the phone has floated off the stand gives the photograph a dream like appearance and I think how the light hits the water gives an amazing effect as it creates a fluidity that you wouldn't see in a day to day photograph of these situations which is what makes these photos so interesting.
