Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts

Caroline Davis is an photographer from Tuscaloosa who takes black and white photographs of baptismal subjects as seen from underwater. She attends African-American baptismal rites throughout Alabama, and, often from a vantage point in the water, photographs men, women, and children in the emotional moments of this ceremony.

She often positions her camera so that it is partially submerged, and sometimes even photographs from completely under the water looking up at the person being immersed. This exhibition includes at least 15 of these intimate portrayals of religious moments, and will be on view in the Museums Weil Graphic Arts Study Center.
