## Caption

We love a good mountain vista or alpine lake, of course. But there’s something about underwater photography that’s just so magical. I can’t even imagine how difficult it must be. With this sentiment in mind I’m excited to share the stunning, ethereal work of Oahu, Hawaii-based photographer Katharine Kollman aka cassec0u as this week’s #followfriday. Read on for a glimpse behind the scenes, then give her a follow!

“I am a photographer because I am a freediver, and these two practices go hand-in-hand. I began shooting film underwater after discovering the work of waynelevinimages. The way the photos are often hazy and blurry, but sometimes shockingly crisp and sharp, so well mimics the range of emotions we feel as divers. These unique moments of clarity amid a 40-meter fog of quietude. This sport, and these individuals that are drawn to it, are otherworldly to me, and film became the most authentic method to document that magic. Over the years, photography has obviously evolved into a means of exploration and self-expression, but the roots lie in these feelings of reverence.” - words and photography by cassec0u made on #NikonosV with #HP5 #tmax100 and 400 #fujifilmacros film.
