Research the work of two portrait photographers. http://www.underwater-photography.gr/#/photo-sets/ Provide at least two examples of their work and explain unique aspects of their technique in capturing images of people. What are some typical elements of their work?
 * Nicholas Samaras**

some unique aspects of this image is she is sitting as if se were on land but instead she is under water, I think the colour contrast of the coral really stands out compared to all of the blue water and her blue outfit.

Framing is in this image because of the dark sides. what I think is unique about this image is how the swimmer is in shadows yet he appears to be in the light.

Color is what makes this image in my opinion, the tigers brown furr matches along with the red and orange clothing and the brown blanket.

This image is al color contrast, if it was black and white it wouldn't even makes sense the bubbles are almost what states the fact that the perfume is under water.
