Photography exhibition 100ft under the sea

Navy ship lying 100ft under the ocean’s surface has been transformed into a submarine photography exhibition by photographer and diver Andreas Franke.

Franke, who is known for his complex postproduction and digital renderings, created and installed a dozen digitally composited images using photos he shot of the Vandenberg a year earlier. Two of the 12 Plexiglas-enclosed 20 sq.ft. images include a girl catching butterflies on the sunken-ships deck as well a bartender pouring drinks for dancing voyagers; the sort of ethereal imagery associated with much of Franke’s work.
