Samantha Schwann is an international award-winning photographic artist whose work concentrates on ecologically unique areas of the ocean, in a thoughtful approach to an increasingly important global conversation.
She began diving at the age of fifteen in the emerald green waters surrounding Vancouver Island, Canada, igniting a curiosity and passion for the ocean. Her artistic background was in sculpture prior to an introduction to photography in 2010.
Schwann’s images shed the constraints of the underwater environment, inviting the viewer to share in the curiosity of the ocean and the range of events and subjects which present themselves. Interested in images with a minimal aesthetic, her work frequently incorporates elements of transience and impermanence.
