Gentle beauty of the first underwater pictures of the 1930‑ies

One day in 1938 unknown photographer Bruce Mozert heard in the resort town of silver springs in Florida filming the movie "Tarzan" swimmer johnny Weissmuller in the title role. First of Mozart wanted to make a few of personnel workflow. But the lake, where the shooting took place, was struck by its crystal clear waters, and the photographer was thinking about a series of underwater photographs, which built a waterproof box camera from scrap materials.

Thanks to this box, the photographer could take with the camera under water, and to move freely between the actors. Seeing this structure, the film crew, led by Weismuller laughed for a long time. But the first twelve shots was so clear that the film Studio MGM bought them for advertising Tarzan.

Let's admire the stunning underwater images of the pioneer of underwater photography.

In the incredibly clear waters of the lake silver springs in Central Florida Bruce Mozert the world's first "discovered" underwater photography and developed a waterproof case for the camera.

For more than 40 years of Mozart was the scene under water, in which people seem to be living a normal life, doing ordinary things. All these scenes seemed fabulous in the context of the water.

It should be noted that Bruce Mozert was a creative in every sense of this word. He not only went down under the water to take stunning shots, but here suit the whole photo shoot, staging, funny skits, and even entertainment.
