Born in Hawaii, USA, Christy Lee Rogers is a pioneer in underwater photographic style and technique, earning her international acclaim.
Her work embraces the unique quality of light refraction between the surface and layers of water, and her personal approach is to honor and explore the frailty of our existence within the elements around us.
Muses is apt as Rogers notes she is obsessed with the transformative qualities of water, indeed water is her muse.

Hints Of The Renaissance
The colors and cascading bodies take on late Renaissance and Baroque tones, with chiaroscuro contrasts of light and darkness creating movement and purpose within each scene.
As “The Independent” (newspaper) in London has described of her earlier works, “The ethereal payoff is indeed redolent of a mix of Masters – the vivid hues of Titian, the straining bodies of Rubens, the sun-dappling chiaroscuro of Caravaggio, but also the loose brushstrokes and fluid movement of Delacroix; hints, too, of the Tiepolo-esque heavenly ascents adorning many an 18th-century Venetian chapel.

Here is what Rogers has to say about her love for water:
“I love water and I’m happy when it’s raining, so it was a natural bond. And I grew up surrounded by water, on the island of Oahu.
I was first drawn to these natural dichotomies in water of freedom, weightlessness, space, and serenity and then on the other side – an inability to breath, vulnerability, pressure and chaos; so it’s a powerful tool to express these same manifestations in life and especially in mankind.
We’re all so connected to water, made up of water and given life by water, so it should be important. But we do take it for granted, and pollute our oceans and rivers like ravage animals. My images are only made possible with the water as an artistic source and tool. It’s like in the movie “Moana”, where the water comes to life”
