WORK HISTORY
International Artist @Modern Baroque Christy Lee Rogers
Christy Lee Rogers is a visual artist known for her modern-day Baroque approach to art, working in both still and moving images. Revered for her unique underwater technique, Rogers uses light and the refraction in water to create painterly images that echo the drama of Caravaggio and Rubens. Through choreographed bodies suspended in motion, her work explores the vulnerability, sensuality, chaos, and beauty of the human condition.Rogers was born and raised on the island of Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi, where the ocean shaped both her imagination and artistic instincts. From a young age, she was drawn to the sea—surfing, swimming, and exploring underwater lava tubes. At 15, she began taking photographs with a 35mm camera and developing film in the darkroom. She later studied filmmaking at San Diego State University, where her passion for visual storytelling deepened, and her love of Fellini films began. Today, her work merges that cinematic foundation with her early love of water.She has been commissioned by James Cameron and Disney for Avatar: The Way of Water, collaborated with Apple for the Shot on iPhone campaign, and created the cover for Lavazza’s The New Humanity calendar. Rogers’ passion for blending light, movement, and emotion has earned her numerous accolades, including the prestigious Sony World Photography Awards Open Photographer of the Year in 2019. She is also a two time finalist for the Contemporary Talents Award from the Fondation François Schneider in France. Her influence has extended into music as well, where her image Harmony was featured on the album cover for Wang Chung’s Orchesography, fusing her dreamlike visuals with the rhythm of sound. And her Odyssey images were selected for the 2013–2014 performance season of the Angers-Nantes Opera in France.
