Dazed sport

Swimming Studies is a series of 35mm film underwater photos taken between 2023-2024 in London swimming pools, during synchronised swimmers training sessions. The project is an exercise in using the camera as an excuse to knock down barriers to get into hardly accessible places, while exploring the intuitive itch to own something by photographing it, the ambiguity present in darkness, and the physicality of human bodies when submerged in a different medium. Part of this project was shown at the MA Photography Degree Show at the Royal College of Art in June 2024
