There is something about being in water that soothes our bodies and expands our imagination. Free from gravity yet deeply conscious of our breathing patterns, all the while in tune to how our limbs and muscles propel ourselves forward in relation to the resistance of water around us, it is easy to feel limitless. If you relax, being in water can open the gates to a blissful escape into something similar to meditation. And when art is able to capture glimpses of those feelings, its magical. Underwater photographs sometimes allude to the mystical place of being engulfed by water, but when combined with images of love, it adds a level of romance no words can describe.
These photos remind me of all the beauty and butterflies of being in love. When caught in the wave of falling in love, a kiss can be a powerful thing. Many have describe this heightened experience of being totally captivated with a lover, as a feeling where nothing else in the world matters, and time just seems to stop. And so is the case when you are deep in water, where almost everything is silent except your own heartbeat, its seems as though the world outside doesn't exist. Here, these images capture very well that brief moment of a kiss and embrace, as these two elements of life, water and love, become that much more spectacular.
