Bruce Mozert

Bruce Mozert worked with Silver Springs and visiting production companies for decades, taking publicity shots of stars such as Johnny Weissmuller, Jane Wyman, Gregory Peck, Ginger Stanley, Jayne Mansfield, and Howard Hughes. Silver Springs had been a film location since 1915, but his pioneering underwater photography put it on the map for year-round filming. He filmed and photographed an important part of Silver Springs more recent history, from historic movies to beloved community places like Paradise Park. For decades, he kept a studio next door to the park and was a big part of the community. An American pioneer of underwater photography, he also captured pin-up models in various kitsch and comical subaquatic scenarios.
