I really liked the one you singled out as well. I think what I most admire about it is the dedication required to actually master that kind of photography. Seems like that would be extremely challenging conditions to work under. Some years ago I happened upon a site that took this artistic genre a few steeps further. I have no idea what the URL was. May not exist today. The same setting, though at times in swimming pools. But it was totally pornographic, in any way you can imagine. An underwater Kama Sutra.

Cool! I discovered that the Undercurrent cover photo was by Toni Frissell, but I didn't know much about her until I read her short bio in the wikipedia link you provided. Thanks!

Thanks! yeah, i remembered seeing that image, but not where, and i have to say learning about Toni Frissell is the real win in this thread i found some of Alberich's photos very elegant, and most are interesting; clearly that is a technically demanding style, and i can forgive the homage to Frissell (but not to Geddes) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

There are some very nice images there, but frankly I find some, including the one you singled out, a bit creepy.

RE: OT, Underwater nudes
He loses points for the baby in the pumpkin. Way too Geddes for me (sorry but I really dislike her work). Then I saw the photo of the lady in the long robe, horizontal, face up, under the surface of the water, blowing bubbles. It was called.Opheliac or something like that. Look familiar?
