When Covid first hit, I had to abandon travel plans to photograph the world at large. Instead, I turned inward, focused smaller, and started shooting flowers. I experimented a lot, eventually photographing flowers underwater, in an aquarium. I inject inks and paints to swirl around the flowers. There is a 1 to 2 minute window where I can get a clear shot before the water becomes too murky. This makes for a quick, tense, energetic shooting session. I use a strobe flash to freeze the movement of the pigment. I consider the tank of water as my canvas, the flower is the subject and where I inject the colors and with how much energy determine the composition and result. I am looking for a pleasing interaction between the colors and the flowers. Sometimes I get nothing, and sometimes I get magic! I call this series, Submerged.
