Under the Surface - Underwater Photography with Lexi Laine

Under the Surface | Underwater Photography with Lexi Laine — Lexi Laine from Brighton, England uses natural sunlight streaming through the water to create scenes for her otherworldly images, traveling across the Mediterranean Sea and lagoons in Mexico. The 38-year-old photographer, who can hold her breath for three and a half minutes, said that somehow jellyfish and crocodiles interfered with her work when she worked with her models in elegant dresses among the marine fauna.

“The real purpose of my job is to convey to people the feeling I get when I'm underwater,” says Line. "It seems to me that this is a completely different world when compared to the crazy world in which we are now."

Note that her models can also hold their breath for a long time, so that they can easily participate in Line's photo shoots, which she has been arranging since 2014.

“I've always enjoyed being underwater,” the woman says. - Throughout my adult life, I have always loved scuba diving and snorkeling. In the end, I brought these two loves together. "

In her work, the photographer tries to focus great attention on the problem of pollution of our seas and oceans with plastic, so, in one of her works, her models posed with plastic film, forming together a composition in the form of a world map.
