Underwater Modeling Portfolio - Shannon Scott
Grace • Emotion • Artistry Beneath The Surface
Underwater Modeling For Campaigns & Productions
Hello and welcome to my Underwater Modeling Portfolio. My name’s Shannon Scott, and I am a professional underwater model, mermaid and performance artist based in Florida, but am passport ready and always ready to travel.
I collaborate with photographers, filmmakers, and brands to create breathtaking visuals that combine movement, emotion, and storytelling beneath the surface for their project and am thrilled to jump in the water to help you capture stunning visuals for print ads, music videos, movies and more!
Whether we’re shooting in natural springs, a pool, or open water, I bring professionalism, safety awareness, and creative flow to every session.
Explore My Underwater Modeling Portfolio
From dreamy fine art portraits to cinematic brand campaigns, my underwater modeling portfolio showcases creative collaborations captured in Florida’s crystal-clear springs and beyond. Each project combines breath control, movement, and visual storytelling to bring emotion to life beneath the water’s surface.
Ever since I was little, I’ve been drawn to the water. I’d spend hours swimming until my fingers pruned… My parents would joke that I’d turn into a fish and it looks like they were right!
My underwater journey began professionally in 2011 when I became one of the first free-diving mermaids for Ripley’s Aquarium. Later, I joined SeaWorld Orlando as a Pearl Diver, performing graceful, breath-held routines that captivated audiences from around the world.
Today, I continue to bring underwater artistry to life performing in Florida’s crystal-clear springs and collaborating with photographers, filmmakers, and event venues who want to create something truly magical beneath the surface around the world.
Underwater work has always been more than performance for me. It’s a dance between calm, movement, and emotion. Each shoot is an opportunity to tell a story through breath, flow, and light.
