Victor Payton

Victor Payton is a South Florida photographer, specializing in underwater photography.

He feels most at home in a swimming pool, but when he’s not under the surface you can find him in front of a screen, watching cartoons, playing games, or creating something in Photoshop.

He first got into photography at age 13, when he won his first point & shoot camera in a middle school reading competition. He pursued further learning at Alexander W. Dreyfoos School of the Arts where he majored in Photography and Digital Media. There he further honed his knowledge of photography and the history behind it. When he joined his high school swimming team, he became fascinated with life underwater and moved forward into capturing his friends beneath the surface.

Victor is a two time National Scholastic Art & Writing Gold Medalist and exhibited in the Art.Write.Now.2016 at the Sheila C. Johnson Center at the Parsons School of Design.

He hopes to continue to do underwater photography and exhibit his work in other galleries in the future.
