HAWAIʻI

My attempt to capture the ethereal essence of our world, where aerials and abstracts intertwine.

19.8987° N, 155.6659° W

A passion project “AS ABOVE // SO BELOW” supported by Lightroom in a continuation of my attempt to connect to things we don’t always get to see, a unique perspective of our planet both below the surface and through aerial abstracts. 

An exploration of the depths of freedom through breath-hold and highlighting women in both freediving and photography. Exploring the places our mind goes and how freediving simplifies all the noise of a modern world in the same way that photography does. To me, it is presence. Everything is intertwined. 

Through abstract vision and different perspectives, we can simplify the complex intricacies of nature. Aerial photography brings me the same sense of calmness I seek below the surface. the harmouness Patterns, colour and, and texture provide a depth and richness to the visual journey; adding layers of detail and care to the world as we know it.

Thank you to freediver @danielle_sea01 and safety diver @cassec0u - this project wouldn’t have been possible without you two incredible women / divers. 

*Part of the project funding was donated to Hawaiian ocean and land conservation.
