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.
Limited edition of 1
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.
