Underwater Fashion Shoot - 04-19-2007, 04:07 PM

Hi Gang,

I did an underwater photoshoot last weekend with two Houston models - Alarana and Belladonna Dea. A fellow TPF member (feel free to jump in here and claim credit :-) was kind enough to let me use her heated pool for the shoot and it was fabulous. She captured a few photos showing me and the models at work - as well as the lighting setup. I think you'll enjoy these:

Split-level photos:



Black backdrop - with hair light:



Cheers
James

Wow, what a great setup you have going. Thanks for posting the behind the scenes and like the others, I can't wait to see the results.

What kind of issues do you have to contend with once you are both underwater?

Interesting, but do you have any images that were actually shot underwater?

OK well I got my releases yesterday so it's time to share some photos from this shoot. I think these are some of my best work in this genre yet but would love to get some feedback from TPF:







These were all shot last Sunday with houston model "Belladonna."

I used the 5D and 17-40L for all of these.

Cheers
James
