In Christy Lee Rogers' p//h 5, a lone figure drifts beneath the surface in ordained stillness, framed by a chiaroscuro interplay of light and shadow. Bathed in deep neutral tones, her flowing garment undulates like liquid silk. The Baroque lighting sculpts her body in dramatic contrast—illuminating folds and flickers of skin, casting deep pools of darkness around her limbs.

Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver and Kate Winslet, stars of 20th Century Studios’ “Avatar: The Way of Water”, posed for renowned underwater photographer Christy Lee Rogers for a series of photographs celebrating our oceans to raise funds to support The Nature Conservancy (TNC).

Christy explores the ideas that light surrounds the human body but is invisible to the eye, just like many wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum. Beyond light, she examines the idea of other life forms in a science fiction type of reality, where in some images, splashes of color create nondescript forms, in weightless spaces.

Venus, an etherial and luminous symbol of beauty, is the subject of International water artist and photographer Christy Lee Rogers’ latest release “Venus Rising."
