Seth Casteel
Just scrolling through the internet I stumbled across the photographer Seth Casteel and his Underwater Dog photography and I instantly fell for it. The photos are so unique and I have never seen anything like it before.
I looked into how he creates the image and it is an underwater camera with a fish eye lens, which is how he achieves the strange curves and shapes, enhancing the dogs faces and other feature. The shoots take place in well lit pools and he uses tennis balls to throw into the pool to make the dogs drive after them.
I love how the dogs look different to how you would ever see them on land some of them look so bizarre, with the wide eyes and mouths. I do find some of them a little scary with the sharp teeth even though I know they are not being vicious it still looks intimidating. The shapes that the waves and the bubbles created from them entering the water but also them breathing give the photos a surreal feeling the dogs look like completely different creatures.
