This Photographer Is Changing Maternity Photography With His Underwater Mermaid Moms
430Kviews
My name is Adam Opris and I am a professional photographer specializing in wedding and lifestyle by day and underwater photography aficionado by night. I am always trying to push the envelope and create photography art through people and their stories.
I grew up in South Florida with a love for everything outdoors. I’ve practically lived in the ocean my whole life. With that great love for the water, I am bringing mermaids out of moms to be in my maternity photoshoots. By embracing buoyancy and enabling these beautiful women to be free, I am creating stunning pictures to capture pregnancy in all of its glory!

The high heels underwater just takes away too much from otherwise masterly Pictures! How did the photographer think here?
When else would a pregnant woman want to wear heels, underwater and weightless, love it!
That one was actually my favorite. It's the most playful.
The most incredibly beautiful pictures I've ever seen!
why do most of theses people look computer animated??
LOVE IT!
sweet on its own way... I ♥
They look beautiful, but they also have great bodies, like models. I did not look anything like that at all when I carried my two.
But i'm sure u still beautiful anyway. I'm sad that a lot of woman FEEL "ugly" during pregnancy.
The perfect definition of cheesy
i only saw one that might be perceived as cheesy (for me it's black white dancing couple). the rest are great
Im a photograoher and trust me ..these are not. Its the effect of the water ..its all it is
I wish I could have done this
Absolutely amazing!
Gratuitous
Great thing to do...really...some beautiful maternity shots underwater here too http://www.finfocus.xyz/39-underwater-maternity-shots/
The baby underwater tho?
I think they are beautiful
I don't know...the heels and the gorgeous clothes, make up etc...is not what makes a woman beautiful...concentrated too much on the 'other stuff' rather than her belly...
These are amazingly beautiful. I dont know how one is able to convince a pregnant lady to go that deep underwater.
From a fellow photographer these are absolutely stunning. All the women look beautiful!
Incredibly amazing!
now watch, now the baby is going to love water.
extremely beautiful..!
STUNNING PICTURES!!! WOW!
Loved it!
so beautiful
I am glad I only see all these images as Beautiful.
Wonderful concept, i love the vibrant colours, well done. This in my book is a winner.
This is a great idea! I love these pics such a unique way of portraying a beautiful time in a womans and couples life!
*speechless*
Lose the stilettos - cheapens an otherwise beautiful picture.
Those picture were awesome!
Extremely beautiful and original. Something never seen before. Very creative

The concept of these photos is genius. He has added style to the developing miracle and illuminated them with the beauty of light and water.
they pee in them photos
Don't care for it... Looks very photoshop
Beautiful study of a beautiful subject with a beautiful end result!
Amazingly Beautiful. Wish this was around 30 years ago...Amazing!!!
I love the idea of seeing pregnant women in the water awesome
Why the photographer decided only to include extremely good-looking women that look like professional models, high heels and pretty dresses.
Surreal, yet sublimely poetic art of motherhood.
Lindo, o tema é super apropriado
Lindíssimo, tema incomparável.
Nice 100% Photoshop work
nice
Gorgeous!
Thank you adam opris for the beautiful images. All I see is beauty, motherhood and weightless water. We need it when pregnant :))

Not loving it. Could be a beautiful idea. I liked the one with the heels, but the others looked like horrible snapshots.
Wonderful and an excellent work. Very nice and beautiful images.
love it!! could of done without the kinky shoes tho
Just Beautiful!!!
Beautiful
I'm not a fan of the heels but I love the rest. Wish I'd have thought of something like this with my girls.
Wow
Very lovely... does it matter if they're skinny it's beautiful none the less.. I think alot of people would like to see larger ladies lol
The girl with the red shiny top and the black dress has the most stunning pictures (but I love the flowing effect so really my opinion).
Very lovely
Espetacular o ensaio com as Grávidas...Parabéns!
Awesome! !!!
Stunning!
Simply beautiful!
Perfect beauty, I have never seen anything so awesome. I want a picture just like this.
It is a great idea, but the pictures are way to photoshopped for my liking. They look fake.
Typo. All are willing parties. Anyone any size can look beautiful!

As a photographer myself I think these are magnificently fabulous! I think creatively people can do as they please. All our willing parties!
Way cool! :)
Fotos de gravidez mais lindas que já vi!!! Incrivelmente fantásticas!
Beautiful. Really stunning, and tastefully done
As a photographer who also photographs women artistically underwater, I offer my appreciation. Beautifully executed at a very special time.
I love his take on it but I've seen it done before, heels and all. Look up Kevin Beasley, he has been doing these for some time now.
Outstandingly beautiful!
This is bomb! So out of the norm! I really like it!
I hate the sun glasses with tatt ..but the rest are amazing. .watercmakes everything look pure ..but the tatt and cheezy glasses..oh hell n
So beautiful photos.. and even if I did look more like a seaelephant.. it´s still a magical event..
Incredible !! <3

Beautiful picture but so much Photoshop on the models :(
Lovely

These are truly beautiful photos! What an amazing way to capture the beautiful body of a pregnant woman! Such spectacular poses and colors!
Wow just amazing
Great
I did my underwater maternity shoot w/ Adam & it was absolutely liberating. There is nothing negative about this experience or these photos!
good idea. bad execution. digital feel & over-the-top retouching, kills all the organic life of the subject matter and turns it into plastic

Beautiful photos. I had a twin pregnancy, with an enormous belly but very little extra weight. Would have loved to be photographed like this
Amazing
Absolutely ingenious! Beautiful!
Yeesh.
I love these, they are so beautiful. Unfortunately some FB people are a bit one eyed and comments are a bit nasty. Keep up the wonderfwork.
