Elena Kalis is an underwater portrait photographer. I was able to find her work through Pinterest! Check out her website-she is INCREDIBLE. I am so inspired by her portraits because of the vibrant, incredible colors. Her underwater pictures are unique and create images that look as if they were painted. Elena Kalis

    These underwater pictures are beautiful! I love how the pictures are so graceful and make time look like it has stopped for a moment.

    Caroline, thank you for telling us about Elena Kalis! I was blown away while looking through her portfolio; her use of color and the creativity she uses in arranging her compositions is breathtaking! All of her images really have an “other-worldly,” ethereal feel, which I absolutely love.

    I can’t get over these photos! They are ridiculously amazing. The beauty and timing and everything she must go through to get these incredible shots makes my brain hurt to think about. I don’t know that I have that kind of dedication and talent, but I’m glad that she does so that we can enjoy her wonderful work! Great post Caroline!

    Caroline, I’m glad you posted this! I love her work! I saw this on Facebook a couple weeks ago and I was thinking about putting a link to her work on the blog, but you beat me to it! Her photos have a very emotional appeal. They make me want to know what it is like to live underwater. Every since I was younger, I have always loved the water. I have loved pools and beaches, possibly because of the beautiful color and the feeling of excitement they used to give me when I went there with family or friends. Because of this, every time I see photographs of pools and beaches, I am overcome with a sense of excitement and awe. I love that her photos portray a sense of elegance, especially the ones she took of her daughter as a mermaid. My favorite photos from her collection were the depictions of her daughter as Alice from Alice in Wonderland. It was clever of her to use water as an illusion that she is falling and the objects around her are floating in space.
