Ben Pier, Photographer, New York

Description

This underwater portrait captured by Ben Pier depicts two individuals submerged up to their chests in a swimming pool. The person on the left wears a light-coloured patterned button-down shirt with dark bottoms, while the person on the right wears an amber-red shirt and shorts. The water surface creates heavy refraction and rippling light caustic patterns across their shoulders and shirts. The composition is shot horizontally from beneath the surface, with turquoise water filling the background. Natural sunlight filters through the water above, illuminating the figures.
