Breathhold

Shooting underwater grants the gift of weightlessness. I love shooting contextually on one breath, with shapes and patterns and ambiguity, to challenge the viewer’s perception of underwater photography. These are a collection of moments during my time freediving in the Phillippines, in 2024.
