Water Dreaming

 

This is a personal series I shot on transparency with a Nikonos water camera over a series of summers, mainly in Sydney.

12 of the images won a World Press Photo award in 2004.

 

I am always interested in collaborations involving underwater portraiture, so if you would love your inner mermaid photographed, or would a portrait with a difference, contact me on tanyaxlake@gmail.com
