Underwater photography will soon be gracing the walls of Plaskett Gallery.
Impossible Worlds opens Nov. 3 and is set to run until Dec. 20.
It features the work of Lisa Graham, an award-winning Vancouver Island-based photographer who established Seadance Photography in 2009. The company specializes in underwater portraits with an artistic flair.
“Her knowledge as a portrait photographer and her history as a dive instructor and underwater photographer create a unique skill-set that generates unique results,” a press release notes.
Much of Graham’s work involves water in some way as she explores how water lends a new element to her subjects – whether that’s the reflection of a couple on a pond, blurred waves on a beach or people in a pool.
“Whether it’s photographing a person or place, my goal for every image is not just to tell a story, but to reveal its character,” she said in the release. “Photography brings out the best in me. My motive as a photographer is to bring out the best in my subject.”
