Darian White: Weekly Post 3




Ellen Cuylaerts is Belgian photographer who specializes in underwater photography. The successful underwater imaging is usually done with specialized equipment and techniques. The amazing underwater photography can offer exciting and rare photographic opportunities! Animals such as fish and marine mammals are common subjects, but photographers also pursue shipwrecks, sunken caves, underwater landscapes, and portraits of fellow divers.
Ms. Cuylaerts takes underwater photos in black and white as well as color. I love her artwork! Her remarkable photography features sting rays beneath the water on the floor of the ocean with the natural lighting of the sun is simply beautiful. Her close up photos of the manatee shows the tiny details on the mammal’s skin.  She has captured other manatees lying on the ocean’s floor. I really also enjoy the photo of the sunken ship and the way the diver in the photo makes himself apart of the photo in an intriguing way. She captures the natural lighting perfectly. I am extremely intrigued by water and the marine mammals.  I would like to incorporate underwater photography in my work.
