Underwater Photography by Lisa Reilly at the W Hotel Downtown

The Art Aquatic at the W Hotel in downtown Atlanta last night was a unique event. The reception in the Wetbar on the 16^th floor displayed a video and a few framed prints but it was just a gateway to the main feature. The bar opens out onto the pool which overlooks the city. In the pool, photographer Lisa Reilly was photographing models underwater. The models were in full makeup and dressed in sheer flowing fabrics. Individually, they would enter the pool where the photographer with her large camera complete with lights was waiting. After chatting briefly they would both go underwater and take a few shots. They would come up to breathe and talk, discussing other poses I assume, and then go underwater again. The photos that were displayed had a bright, fresh and flowing feel. The colors were brilliant and the movement provided by the water was magical. Check out Lisa Reilly’s photography and watch the W Hotel downtownfor creative and fun events.
