Exhibit at the Oklahoma Aquarium getting glowing reviews

She was born in Shawnee, Oklahoma but her travels have taken her around the world. Brandi Irwin began her career as a model and it’s easy to see why. She is a beautiful blonde young lady over six feet tall. Her easy smile tells you she is not taken with herself but she is serious about her current career. That work is on display for several weeks this month at the Oklahoma Aquarium. It’s called “Something Special Underwater” and it is a work that has been years in the making. Irwin takes underwater photographs but not just any kid, these are of fluorescent animals at night.

Underwater photography on display in Jenks

Brandi Irwin was born and raised in Shawnee and lives in New York City. She spends most of her time diving underwater to capture stunning and bright photographs and document the regions of the deep that aren’t illuminated by many.

Irwin is one of a handful of people in the country who practice fluorescent photography, meaning they use a blue or green light to help capture images, and Irwin does all of her shooting underwater at night.

Irwin had her artwork on display at an exhibit in Jenks called “Something Special Underwater.” It was last night from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at The Oklahoma Aquarium.

She said her style of photographing underwater using no lights or natural lighting is a unique enterprise.

“It’s done at night with special lighting and special filters and it’s the things that glow in the dark,” Irwin said. “I’m the only person in the country bringing it to the surface and having it exhibited in places like aquariums.”

She said this type of photography is very difficult to do and there are a lot of hobbyists trying to do it on their own, however, Irwin said that doing it in the dark makes it much more difficult to accomplish.
