Artwork description:

Underwater B&W photograph of a young naked woman wrapped in air bubbles and sunbeams.

She had five grand-pianos at her house, a pool on the third floor, and a man cursing in Russian on the bottom of that pool - me. I had no idea that a broken pool pump can turn water into champagne. The bubbles were covering my mask, camera, strobes, the model, and everything in between. I was almost blind on the bottom of shimmering cloud with sharp sunbeams bursting through. The model was floating somewhere above my head like a strawberry. I raised the camera and took two blind shots. This is the second shot.

Alex Sher is an award-winning American underwater fine art photographer internationally recognized for his distinctive depictions of feminine sensuality.
Sher was born in Ukraine and moved to the United States with his family in 1995.
Sher started showing his photographs in the early nineties in Kyiv, Ukraine. He was considering himself an emerging artist until one of his pieces was stolen from an exhibition in Kyiv, leading him to the epiphany that his works represented a significant value to the public.
Later in US Sher began experimenting with marine wildlife photography and sharply moved toward figurative fine art. His latest artistic innovations blend figurative and abstract photography into forms that could be almost mistaken for abstract paintings.
Sher’s underwater photography began to attract extensive interest in 2015. To date, his works have been exhibited in London, Paris, New York, Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and other major cities including the Louvre Museum in Paris. His first solo show was held in 2016 in Los Angeles by Bruce Lurie Gallery. Since his debut, Sher had seven exclusive exhibitions, participated in numerous group exhibitions and prominent art fairs.
Sher's photographs are published by 28 magazines in 11 countries. His first photo book “Mermaids” has been published in 2018.
Sher mastered the profession of underwater coaching. Bringing forth his technical and artistic innovations, he generously shares his techniques with his models and aspiring photographers.
