Phoebe Fitz is a Miami-based artist specializing in underwater photography. Her images are a meditation on presence and embodiment with a focus on the female form, an homage to the fluid and life-giving nature of water. Through submersion in both surreal natural landscapes and man-made pools, Fitz’s work explores our collective relationship with water, and speaks to how vital this connection is to our survival.
Growing up in South Florida, Fitz developed a deep appreciation for the marine environment that surrounded her childhood. Her career began in natural history filmmaking alongside her father Tom Fitz, an Emmy-award winning videographer, working on productions for National Geographic, the BBC, Netflix, and PBS, among others.
Fitz’s current work centers on capturing the human experience underwater. She combines her background in documentary television production with abstract, imaginative depictions of the female form to create works of art that celebrate the beauty of both nature and femininity.
