A little trip to the Bahamas with fairy-tale photos of a young girl
For Sacha Kalis, the ocean has always been her first home. Born and raised in the Bahamas, Sacha (who calls herself a Bahamas Girl) learned to swim before she could even walk. Her mother, the talented underwater photographer Elena Kalis, encouraged Sacha's natural affinity for the underwater world, allowing her to freely explore an amazing environment full of life, curious creatures, and mysterious treasures.
Sacha and Elena have an intimate connection with water. Together, they create peaceful, dreamlike portraits that capture Sacha's world beneath the waves and her relationship to all the creatures she encounters. The result almost gives the impression that the waters of the Bahamas are her natural habitat.
For Elena, the land world cannot match the underwater realm. "The underwater world is dreamlike and clear and simply a different world overall. I feel a fusion of respect, awe, sensuality and mystery when I photograph underwater and in the ocean in particular. »
His daughter Sacha reflects this view when she describes her relationship with the "world beneath the waves". She speaks of "an environment where light, movement, and weightlessness give an incredible dreamlike quality to the images. »
