A little about Stef: What’s my story?
There is a profound bond between humans and water, we originated from the seas and
our mother’s wombs. Returning to water often makes us feel both alive
and at peace. It is both sensual and spiritual. My aim is to remind us of our connection
to nature, particularly water, and the grace and exhilaration that comes from embracing
this relationship.
As a child, I borrowed the family camera time and again,
eager to encapsulate a moment with people or nature.
These pursuits, along with a love for both dance and
swimming influenced my appreciation for grace, strength
and beauty of the human form in motion.
My many years spent as a dedicated special education
teacher helping students discover their individual
potential and joy honed my patience, empathy and ability
to see and appreciate the world differently. SCUBA, free
diving and eventually, underwater photography became a
way to recharge for work.
My first underwater photographic subjects were
anemone and giant kelp. In the last few years, I’ve
combined my love of dance with water attending
Aguahara (body work in water) and Water Contact Dance workshops. It felt most
natural for me to get behind my camera and start capturing such authentic reconnection
to ourselves in water. -Stefanie Flax
