By photographing from above and allowing the water to abstract the figures, Seif sets himself apart from the multitude of photographers who have tried to reinterpret the nude figure by placing it underwater.

Michael Seif
In the 1960s I lived and worked in New York City, carried my camera everywhere, and photographed every chance I had - day and night, above ground and in the subways.The camera forced me to look, and to actually see.
Michael Seif’s first attempt at photographing the nude began in 1969, as a result of a workshop with Lisette Model at the New School in New York City.
