I like to shoot otherworldly and sometimes melancholic underwater images. I made this particular piece of work as a way of reflecting my sadness about how much plastic waste is being dumped into our oceans. This image is a combination of 10 photographs, meticulously stitched together in Photoshop. The idea behind the composition is that the figures holding the plastic sheets would depict the vision of a world map, albeit a loose and not immediately obvious depiction. I like to make images that have layers of thought and meaning and so the title ‘Single Use Planet’ seemed fitting for this piece. In order to improve in my underwater photography, I have trained as a freediver. Along with my model, we practise breathing and relaxation exercises so that we may encounter the wonder of the underwater world for longer periods - without the use of scuba equipment. Together we experience the thrill of holding our breath and diving deep down into our underworld. It is here that I feel the most alive and in touch with myself as an artist. It was once that I dreamed about these photographs, and bringing them into being has been a process of adventure, self exploration and enjoyment.

Lexi Laine is based in the UK and specialises in creating ethereal underwater photography in some of the most unique locations around the globe. She has spent several years training as a freediver in order to extend the amount of time she can stay underwater. Works responding to the human impact on the marine environment can be seen throughout the artist’s portfolio. Influences of 17th and 18th century baroque painting, fantasy and folklore can also often be found in her images. Laine enjoys explorations of surreal contradictions, blurring boundaries and using photography as a means to create otherworldly, emotive art. Laine studied BA Fine Art at UCA (University for the Creative Arts) Canterbury in 2001-2004 and since graduating has been building her career as a photographer and artist. In 2020 Laine was awarded the winner of the Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize Photography Award. In 2018 and 2019 she was awarded ‘Image of the Year’ by leading UK training provider, Photography Farm. Also in 2019 Laine was sponsored by Sony UK to create a short behind the scenes documentary of her practise titled 'Under The Surface'. The project was undertaken in the magical cenotes of the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico.
