Hugh Arnold
Internationally acclaimed photographer Hugh Arnold has always been driven to explore new territory in his field, frequently telling stories through breathtaking collages and murals.
Arnold draws inspiration from Renaissance masters like Michaelangelo as well as icons of the 20th century such as Pablo Picasso. Sometimes intentional, sometimes by happenstance, Arnold can always find an element in his photography that calls back to one or more of the great painters of the past.
Born in Chester, England, Arnold originally trained as an actor. He turned to photography after becoming enamored by the light and landscapes of Australia. He worked for a time at Vogue Australia before setting off to Milan to work for fashion labels. From there, Arnold shot for various publications around the world, including Traveller and Glamour.
In the early 2010s, Arnold had resolved to give up photography after a series of struggles. While packing up his studio, he came across a box of negatives he had taken approximately 20 years earlier. One picture in particular — a photograph of a woman underwater — caught his attention. Discovering this image saw him rekindle his passion for photography, and Arnold decided to embark upon creating a black-and-white underwater series depicting human development, from conception to adulthood. He took diving lessons and set about shooting the initial photos. Arnold presented the finished series in several exhibitions around the world, including in London, Chicago and Montenegro.
Arnold lives in France with his wife, Celina, and their four children. His work is held in exclusive private collections around the world.

- Spark - underwater nude photograph from series REFLECTIONS - print on aluminumBy Alex SherLocated in Beverly Hills, CA“Spark” is a part of Alex Sher’s popular series REFLECTIONS - underwater photographs that could be almost mistaken for abstract paintings as they bring up recollections of masterpieces by Picasso, Dali or Gustav Klimt. In fact REFLECTIONS are straight photographic capturing of the water’s surface from below, with a submerged underwater camera. The photographs freeze natural momentary reflections in water surface - the unique kaleidoscopic fragmentations of human body into nearly unrecognizable forms. It is these bold accents of color, mesmerizing textures, dramatic lines, and distinctive distortions that make Sher’s works unique highly advisable masterpieces. Alex Sher’s underwater photograph “Spark” ignites the water in a boiling fiery scene. The pale tones of the skin contrast sharply against the velvety reflections of red that consume the water. What in reality would be understood as a nude photograph depicting a woman's body, breasts, and limbs, in Sher’s work transforms into a surreal spark of colors and bubbles. Original print on aluminum plate with black wooden backing. Limited edition of 12. The artwork is furnished with certificate of authenticity, signed by artist with artist's name, edition number, edition limit, and other details. The artwork needs no framing; it is being hung by a hidden frame on the back. Additional framing is available upon request. The photograph has been shown at: 2023 LA Art Show (Los Angeles, US) 2022 Spectrum (Miami, US) 2022 Beverly Hills Art Show (Beverly Hills, US) 2022 Art...Category
