The pictures are from the period 2022 to 2024 and represent my current portfolio. The shoots were taken in various swimming pools. The backgrounds with white or black fabric. Up to 5 flashes in and out of the water, some with colored foil and different light shapers. Some of the bubbles contained were created using a compressed air bottle and hose. Some of the models made the outfits themselves. All models are amateurs. Some had their first underwater shoot.

Dominic is a Germany-based photographer specializing in the ethereal world of underwater model photography. As a self-taught artist who refined their skills through specialized masterclasses, he utilizes the pool to create surreal, gravity-defying narratives. Driven by the desire to bring unexpected and rarely seen concepts below the surface, their work challenges traditional portraiture. Blending fashion, storytelling, and liquid light, they transform the water into a canvas for unconventional themes.
