A nice review from Corridor 40 Magazine

Corridor 40


"Photographer Ari Abramczyk’s choice underwater settings make for ethereal, multifaceted, breathtaking images that border on the surreal. While a majority of the photographs portray the models as childlike nymphs in womb-like security blankets, other images show a bit of humor; for example, she captured one model taking the plunge while wearing a fur coat and stilettos. While it would undoubtedly be difficult to capture “the perfect moment” underwater, it is Abramczyk’s specialty; she adds dimension with color reflections, high-fashion pieces and striking light sources to consistently execute beautiful images. For Abramczyk, water is not an obstacle, but a thrilling force of nature-slash-world of its own that enhances, contorts and inspires."

I don't know about the womb part, but, otherwise, a nice review!

MOPLA Gallery Show

One of my underwater images was chosen to appear in this years Month of Photography LA Group Show at Smashbox Studio in LA.  It was printed 40''x40'' and then mounted and coated in resin to warp it. It was hung on the only black wall in the gallery which made it pop right out.  These images are from the opening night.  There were tons of people, food and wine and amazing work.  I am very honored to have my work displayed alongside these talented artists!  That's me next to the print sporting Max Azria.
