Francesca Owen

Francesca Owen is a Photographic and Performance Artist. Her intrigue for the water began at the age of eight, when she was introduced to Synchronised Swimming. In 2012 she was selected to represent Australia in the London Olympic Games. After hanging up her competitive bathers, she picked up the underwater housing for her camera, and hasn’t left the waters edge since.

Her Bachelor of Photojournalism enabled her to combine two of her passions, water and photography which took her beneath the surface. She enjoys capturing the magic that unfolds underwater, and lures her audience in through the elegance and movement of the human body.

"People always use to refer to synchro swimmers as mermaids, so I wanted to incorporate a feminine element to the body of work but drawing it back to basics. Mermaid bones is all about exposing the raw beauty of the human body as well as the feeling you get when in the water. Mermaid bones came to me one day after a morning shoot at Noosa and it all just clicked."
