Julia Lehman

I've been a professional photographer for over 25 years. After moving to a home with a 10 foot deep pool that needed to be renovated, I had a flash of inspiration that I'd be an underwater photographer. It's been 13 years since I began this journey of capturing people in the "underwater world" which has also connected me deeper then ever to water, our oceans and my passion for protecting our Mother Earth, sea and land animals and bringing awareness to plastic pollution.

For the past 2 years, I've been teaming up other artists including musicians, dancers, models, fashion designers in hopes that we create a ripple effect to create, educate, inspire, protect our planet.
