Challenge of the week-end : Art underwater /  by Christian COULOMBE

A mobile ... Not a telephone you know, these things that move with the wind in a delicate balance.
The challenge was to put one - a big one, 2 meters large - underwater.
The artist who made it is Océ, and Engeco sponsored the construction out of roof steel plate and profile.
We fixed it on a wreck, 8 meters deep, so it has no incidence on marine life.
Some friends free-divers came this morning for a shooting with this ephemeral piece of art, just for pleasure.

A Red Parachute ! With Nanihi /  by Christian COULOMBE

That was on Friday, time is running so fast ...
This beautiful parachute is a real one, it was used in Algeria by French military in the 60's.
It's the third time I use it underwater. The difficulty is to maintain it on an elegant position while it inflates with the current.
That was the first time Nanihi ever model ! First time underwater is a double challenge !
I must admit she fulfilled it with brio.

Marie among the sharks, above the wrecks and the divers ...
Lot of fun for this shooting, Marie is a tiny little goblin taking up unexpected poses underwater, the result is impressive !
