Mattie Cherubino, Photographer, Sydney

Description

An underwater photograph captures a person swimming horizontally beneath the surface in deep blue water. The subject wears a patterned long-sleeve wetsuit and dark briefs, positioned with legs bent gently. Sunlight filters from above, casting dynamic caustic light patterns across the subject's body and the surrounding water. A small school of fish swims near the figure in the dim, atmospheric depths. The composition looks upward toward the water surface where light ripples and reflections distort the view above.
