“Underwater Altars” is Leigh Webber’s meditative series of still lifes photographed underwater, begun in 2021.

Collected objects, both natural and manmade, are submerged under the water, where they take on a life of their own. Lit by the sun, the patterns of light traveling through water are constantly changing. They are affected by Leigh’s movement through the water as she photographs, illustrating the idea that we all have an effect on each other’s lives.
