About the Item
This contemporary figural limited edition photograph by Alyssa Fortin titled "Odette's Last Breath Before..." is a reinterpretation of the mythological story of Odette, the swan from Swan Lake. In this image, a female figure wearing a dress made of light, soft, neutral fabric is breaking the spell and transforming. The warm neutral tones of the figures and her dress are contrasted by the deep, cool blue and green of the water that surrounds her.
"Odette's Last Breath Before..." is part of Fortin’s Disruptive Heroines anthology which focuses on narratives of disorder and disruption. In it, she reimagines and rewrites well known stories in which female protagonists, once cursed, defiled and condemned, re-emerge cleansed, rejuvenated and victorious.
An edition size of 10, this photograph is printed on Juniper Baryta Rag museum quality archival paper. Each print is individually signed, numbered, and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. To purchase this limited edition print in a different size, please contact the artist. Please allow 2-3 weeks for printing and production. We can frame it for you. We usually use a white wood frame and museum glass. Otherwise we ship it unframed.
Alyssa Fortin’s extensive scope includes portrait, travel and fine art photography. Known for her intimate black and white portraits and vibrant color travel photographs, Fortin has over the past thirty years focused on capturing powerful images of the everyday lived experiences of those around her. Inspired by the natural, unfiltered beauty of the people and the world we live in, Fortin is a visual storyteller who documents the journey of her subjects, friends and their families from birth, through growth, aging, and even death. Exhilarating, tender, empowering, and sometimes haunting, her photos immortalize the most joyous, loving, hopeful, and at times heartbreaking moments of her subjects’ lives. Her work touches the souls of her subjects and viewers alike, creating timeless connections between image and life. Fortin studied the art of black and white film photography while earning a BFA at the University of Florida and later a Master's Degree in Art Education at the University of Georgia. For several years following that she taught photography and fine arts. These courses included workshops in pinhole photography, advanced photography, 2-D art, 3-D art, drawing and painting, integrating current events, political and art history, curating group shows in locations such as The King Center in Atlanta, Georgia. Alyssa draws influence from American photographers Dorothea Lange, Walker Evans, Sally Mann, Annie Leibovitz, and New Zealand photographer Niki Boon. She also became inspired by a workshop with Cheryl Jacobs Nicolai in 2002 to develop her skills in film.
It is the combination of fragility and power in our planet and our bodies that inspired Fortin's current work. Three years ago she shifted her work into the production of large format museum quality fine art. Traveling along the New England coast, she shoots on the edge, exploring the female form in liminal spaces - where land and air meet water. Working with ballet dancers and yoga masters, she pushes her subjects to defy gravity, balance through sheer power and will, and then - give in and submerge. It is there, under the water with her dancers, that Fortin taps into something unique, offering a glimpse into another realm. To say that her work captures the female form, in all its strength and grace, as it glides, floats and balances, is to minimize her message. Through her unique visual storytelling in which she resurrects the lost heroines of classical and western tragedies, Fortin has thrown away the lens, pulled us in with her, to witness and experience of all things - hope.

Adventure - underwater nude photograph - print on aluminum 30x36"
By Alex Sher
Located in Beverly Hills, CA
"Adventure" captures a topless young model in a flowing red dress suspended in dark waters, creating a dreamlike reflection on the surface. The interplay between her pale skin and the crimson fabric produces a haunting beauty, evoking both vulnerability and power.
This photograph continues the tradition of underwater portraiture that challenges our perception of movement and gravity. The technical mastery required to achieve such clarity while submerged speaks to the evolution of contemporary fine art photography.
The composition's dramatic black background enhances the otherworldly quality, inviting viewers to explore themes of submersion, transformation, and the boundary between reality and imagination.
Original digital print on aluminum plate signed by the artist.
