Life Aquatic

This is an on-going project that I started a few years ago, when my children were growing-up in Singapore and the swimming-pool was the place to be. With disposable cameras, I started photographing them under the water when they learned how to swim. Over 15 years later, I was tempted again by this medium when exploring photo projects to do at home. Every week, when in Singapore, I explore either the sea or local pools and dive into it with a small underwater digital camera. The study is based on the beauty on how different bodies react when in water. Bodies are gracefully suspended in sea water, while in swimming-pool waters they tend to be more static. How people react and behave in water is also a long case study. As with all of my work, the subjects don't pose and I try to get the natural beauty of it.
