Michel Braunstein Underwater Photography

I’ve got in touch with the amazing artistic synchronized swimmer trainer, Sveta Blecher, over a year ago and I told her about the project I had in my mind. She directly agreed to be in it and we began to train with her beautiful girl Eden Blecher and partner Yael Polak. They both are so graceful and lovely underwater dancers. Because they are always so busy with sync swimming competitions all over the world, it took a while before we could fit a date for all. But it happened

Underwater photography is a popular diving specialty. Many divers enjoy making photographs of marine life, shipwrecks, or underwater geologi cal features such as cave systems. Various categories of underwater photography have developed, such as wide angle, macro or super-macro. One of the more interesting specialties is fashion photography, a practice that requires a lot of preparation. It’s easy to see why many photographers are drawn to underwater fashion photography.

I recently had the chance to shoot two beautiful models diving naked in a swimming pool. This was a pretty interesting artistic experience! The photo session was organized by photographer Johannes Felten for the TV Channel 1. Here‘s the documentary, which includes several kinds of artistic nude photography as shown on TV (in Hebrew, but the images talk by themselves…). #divingwomen #fashion #models #underwaternudity

A few weeks ago, I have suggested to my friend, the singer Noa (Achinoam Nini) to organize a project of underwater images for her new album “Love Medicine”. It was a great experience and I wanted to share with you the way it happened. See the following “behind the scenes” clip. I feel like I really had a great chance to do this with this amazing woman who posed so professionally, even without any experience neither in scuba diving nor free diving. This could not be achieved w

I sometimes prefer to make photo-reportages showing underwater photographers at work, rather than going out to take pictures of the sea-life itself. During the last Red Sea shoot-out, I had the chance to take part in some underwater photo productions with famous photographers. The first, Viktor Lyagushkin, whom I’ve related to in this previous post and this time Johannes Felten for whom I’ve shot the following pictures during two dives with him.

Vicky and Vadim have decided to live a great experience and to show to the guests at their wedding some images of themselves which would be quite different from the standard pictures usually showed at this kind of event. They decided to jump into the pool with a wedding dress and suit to have a series of original underwater wedding images. The guests were amazed! For some obvious reasons,  they  did not wear the same clothes as the ones they would wear during their wedding ce

Lesley Rochat is an award winning photographer, filmmaker, conservationist, activist, writer, poet and speaker. She’s successful in all she does. This beautiful lady has a great mind; she chose to use her wide knowledge and skills to be a conservationist rather than a successful well-paid insurance advisor. She discovered the beauty of the sharks and the importance of the over-fished predator to the good balance of the oceans and decided to fight for their protection. Her nic
