Magically Mesmerizing Water Imagery

Underwater by Baiba Ladiga

No matter how many photoshoots are done beneath water, they never get tired; Underwater by Baiba Ladiga, a stylist based in Shanghai, China, is a prime example of why that is the case. Utterly mesmerizing, the magical images look like something out of this world. As though straight out of a fantasy film, the models float enchantingly in a dark void. What sets these images apart from other similar ones is the use of fabrics. Not only do the outfits cling and float in a visually striking manner, their are also sheets floating beyond the models.

Underwater by Baiba Ladiga was captured by photographer Ele Jin and stars a group of synchronised swimmers hailing from Shanghai.
