I saw these a while ago on Its Nice That, but for some reason re-visited them today. They are from the series 'Glass Ceiling' by Jill Greenberg and inspired by a series of images she took of the US Synchronised Swim Team for a fashion shoot. They are incredible and bizarre images but what is interesting is Greenberg's view of this shoot.
Greenerg says 'they wear high heels to be "sexy", yet this is absurd, it hinders their movement and amplifies their lack of control. They adjust their swimsuits, shoes; gasp for air, and are pushed by the relentless force of the water, a metaphor for their world'.
