The images from Elena Kalis are truly sights to tantalize the imagination. I originally found her through the site DeviantArt but I knew that she also had a Flickr account. While I was searching the site for a new photographer to feature, I randomly stumbled upon one of her pictures: it was instantly recognizable as her style. The interesting thing about Kalis' gallery is that it consists solely of underwater photography. You should also know that the water isn't fake or even from a swimming pool: Kalis lives in the Bahamas. Most of her work is centered around little girls, at least one being her own daughter (yes i t sounds creepy but the images are picturesque innocence). Sometimes she uses themes, most prevalently Alice in
Wonderland. The true magic of her photos lies in the fantasy of the colors and the fact that the images are underwater in their own world. Her pictures are stunning and her gallery has many more photos like this one so go check her out. Some of her work has been featured in magazines.
