Lexi Laine is a British artist specialising in creating ethereal underwater photography in some of the most unique locations around the globe. She spent several years
training as a freediver in order to extend the amount of time she can stay underwater.
Rather than using scuba equipment, Lexi chooses instead to undertake all of her work on a single breath hold. More often than not her photographs depict a single female or multiple women, featuring highly skilled freedivers as the subjects.
Works responding to the human impact on the marine environment can be seen throughout her portfolio. Influences of historical painting, fantasy and folklore can also often be found in her images. Lexi enjoys explorations of surreal contradictions, blurring boundaries and using photography as a means to create otherworldly, emotive art.
