What is so fascinating about watching a person, falling into deep water, seen from the underwater perspective?
I guess many people would say, it's the slow motion effect.
But is that the only thing? Of course not. There are also the "wings of water" that suddenly grow on the person's arms, legs, torso and head, the streams of water that lay on the falling, sinking body like fluid, transparent clothes. When you're watching air and water combining, different spaces that add and separate each other at the same time under the surface of an ocean. Or maybe just a glass of water...
Another thought of me is about one of the oldest, most referred and so highly influential motive of flowers.
It would definitely fill more than just a few books or blog pages to write about the historical, poetical and still mysterious ambience of these silent beings here.
Well, the thing about water and flowers of every kind is the fact that I discovered an artist who manages to combine the character and looks of both elements in a really magical way. When I look at his works, their style and technique seem familiar, but they also have a literally deeper impact on me.
Love, tenderness, sadness, loneliness, darkness. You name it, when all these moods and feelings fulfill your heart and mind for a second at the same time, you could be stunned by one of the photo series by Mark Mawson.
Mawson is an award-winning british photographer with many years of experience in capturing a full spectrum of people and places and specializes in underwater shootings. I'm gonna show you a part of his "Aqueous" series, but the selection of pictures was a very tough one again. His website contains a wide range of other works, but especially the Aqueous ones is represented by several galleries.

My favourite is the first one. Looks like little blue mushrooms. Under water pictures have a magic to them that other pictures will never capture.

Yeah, underwater shots always seem quiet special. As you might see on his website, there's a big choice of pics of him. Actually I wanted to them all on one page, as a kind of collage. But I decided to do it the other way. He's a real specialist in what he does..
