Available in multiple sizes. High-end framing on request. All prints are done and signed by the artist. The collector receives an additional certificate of authenticity from the gallery. Howard Schatz’s Underwater Study #2615 presents a striking and surreal portrayal of underwater beauty and fashion. The photograph features a model floating gracefully beneath the surface, adorned in a vibrant pink and orange flower dress. A giant orange butterfly, perched at the cleavage, adds an element of whimsical extravagance. The model holds her skirt down as she floats, her face turned towards the camera with bright, dramatic makeup, yet her gaze is directed downward, creating a sense of introspection. The entirely black background contrasts sharply with the vivid colors of the dress and butterfly, while the surrounding air bubbles reflect light, adding a subtle sparkle to the scene. Schatz’s expert lighting and composition turn this underwater moment into a mesmerizing visual spectacle, blending high fashion with the ethereal beauty of the aquatic environment. Underwater Study #2615 invites viewers to immerse themselves in a world where elegance meets the surreal, captured in a moment of enchanting stillness. Opulent flower crowns, intertwined bodies, and decadent dinners hosted in underwater worlds – Howard Schatz’s imagery is marked by grandeur and abundance. Transgressing genres and motives, Schatz approaches portraits, nature photography, and the moving body in all its forms with an outburst of passion and energy. Liquid colors, extravagant perspectives, and daring details surprise the onlooker at every corner. Succulent vegetation and airy fabrics bleed into magical compositions. Howard Schatz is an award-winning photographer living in New York City and widely exhibited worldwide.
