Underwater portrait of a Black woman in a sculpted gold bodice and flowing white fabric resembling a tail

Rob Rusling, Photographer, London

About

An underwater portrait captures a Black woman suspended in vibrant blue water, surrounded by billowing translucent white fabric that cascades downward like a tail. She wears a structured, metallic gold bodice with ruffled collar details and dark sheer fabric on the lower half. Her hair is styled in intricate locs swept upward, and she poses with outstretched arms in a serene, weightless posture. Dramatic shafts of light filter from above through deep blue water, illuminating rocky coral formations and aquatic flora at the base of the frame. The composition employs rich teal and gold tones, creating a theatrical and dreamlike aquatic atmosphere.
