Gallery 169 presents ‘Surfacing,’ new underwater photographs by Mallory Morrison, at the gallery, 169 W. Channel Rd. in Santa Monica Canyon. For the last five years, Morrison has been honing her skills in underwater photography, constantly experimenting with new processes and concepts. Originally a dance photographer, Morrison blended her photography skills with her 24 years of dance experience, bringing about a perfect marriage of her two passions. Her evolution into underwater photography allowed her to introduce another element to this union and extend the range of her talent even further. By using professional dancers in an underwater environment, Morrison challenges the boundaries of people photography’utilizing weightlessness to tell stories that explore the depths of movement and composition. Although fine-art work is what keeps her inspired and evolving as an artist, Morrison also does commercial work for magazines, ad agencies and musicians. She has received multiple awards in recognition of her fresh vision of digital imagery. Morrison was recently named one of the top three commercial and fashion underwater photographers by Scuba Diver Magazine: Through the Lens, the only internationally published magazine for underwater photography.
