These underwater photography ideas encompass everything from the silly to the serene and the frightening with subjects that include models, puppies and even a few sharks.
Underwater photos are an extremely popular choice for showing off fashion, especially since the water gives such a graceful movement to the fabrics. This idea was even adopted by photographers like Steffen Binke and Adam Opris, both capturing images of pregnant women posed gracefully underwater. Although most photos that are taken underwater seem to have a dreamy, ethereal quality to them, some of these photos go against this pattern by showing in-your-face images of creatures baring their teeth or creatures that you might not want to encounter while you are swimming around, submerged underwater.
