Haunting Underwater Photography

OmniPhantasmic by Neil Craver Focuses on the Subconscious

— October 10, 2011 — Fashion
Although underwater photo shoots were much more prevalent last year, it seems that the photo series titled OmniPhantasmic by Neil Craver may inspire more photographers to delve into watery depths once again. Haunting and surreal, it shows just why artists were once incredibly fascinated by this life-sustaining element and alien world. Nevertheless, this particular series focuses on the more fantastical interaction between water and humans.

More than that, OmniPhantasmic by Neil Craver goes even deeper by exploring how the subconscious existence in turn affects and drives everyday lives. As My Modern Met so aptly puts it, "Decomposing forests represent broken memory connections and the horizontal line between the water and the sky show the stark division between the conscious and the subconscious." Neil Craver encourages viewers to dive into their subconscious in order to learn more about themselves and their surroundings.
Trend Themes
1. Underwater Photography Renaissance - As more artists dive into underwater photography, there is potential for disruptive innovation in terms of exploration of the underwater world, new techniques, and equipment.
2. Subconscious Exploration - The focus on exploring the subconscious through art presents an opportunity for the development of new therapeutic techniques, mindfulness practices, and personal growth tools.
3. Surrealism Resurgence - The popularity of haunting and surreal art such as 'OmniPhantasmic' indicates a potential comeback of surrealism art in the mainstream, providing the opportunity to create new forms of expression and storytelling.
Industry Implications
1. Art and Photography - The rising interest in water photography and surrealism opens doors for the art and photography industry to push boundaries of creative expression and create new art markets.
2. Therapy and Wellness - Exploring the subconscious through art presents an opportunity for the therapy and wellness industry to develop new techniques and practices for personal growth and healing.
3. Tourism and Travel - With the increasing popularity of underwater photography, there is potential for tourism and travel businesses to develop unique experiences and destinations related to underwater exploration and photography.
