For me, the underwater world, when captured in photography, opens up a realm of forms, movements and light. In this selection from *Imaginary Planets*, aquatic forms become compositions to be explored. I invite you to follow their curves and contrasts, without reducing the image to the immediate recognition of a subject.
‘Choreography’, ‘Celestial Anemone’ and ‘Guardian of the Blue World’ offer three encounters with this aquatic imagination. This artistic selection focuses on the works and their photographic transformation. It is neither a diving guide nor an inventory of marine fauna. Each thumbnail opens the corresponding entry.
Transformed Aquatic Presences
In Choreography, suspended forms trace a movement that the eye can follow. Celestial Anemone presents a different density of matter, whilst Guardian of the Blue World reveals a small presence within a vast space. I bring them together here because of their different rhythms, without attributing to them a shared story or a location not specified in their descriptions.
To remain by the water’s edge, explore my photographs of the sea and coastline. The blue selection lets you trace this hue across other subjects.
Underwater photography: choose a work
The depth of a blue, the luminosity of a detail or the shape of a curve may be your first point of entry. Then look at the image as a whole. A very busy composition and a more open photograph will not have the same impact in your home, even if they share an aquatic atmosphere.
To help you visualise the pieces, my installation simulations show various ways of displaying them indoors. You can then view the formats and media, as well as information on the limited-edition prints. Finally, if a piece catches your eye, I’d be delighted to discuss your choice with you.
