Todd Essick

Todd Essick is very well known for his unique and beautiful underwater nude photography. His work attempts to fuse the beauty of the sea with the beauty of the female form, an allusion to Venus, who came from the sea and was the goddess of beauty. His photo shoots are extremely intricate, involving dolphins, stingrays, and even sharks. You are quickly swept away into an alternate reality when you view Essick’s work. He has published a book of his photographs called Beginnings Goddesses, Sirens and Mermaids.
