Here you can see were we got our idea for this photo from, Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam.  They look a bit like mermaids to me.  It was fun getting two of them in the water together.  While it made for more things to not look right in the photo if gave the girls something to react to.

Chelsea Korka of The Paradiso Girls came by to do some photos at Lauren and Kenny’s pool party. Looking that relaxed was a task with the technical difficulties of shooting with high power lighting underwater.  Chelsea can really hold her breath for quite some time.   The hardest part was keeping the dress from flying up, I guess it worked out once we just decided to go with it.

Lauren Bennett of the Paradiso Girls collaborated with James Hickey’s newest underwater photography project.  It certainly wasn’t my first time I had models in a pool, it was just my first time I brought the camera underwater.  To get it done I rigged a Canon 5D Mark II in an underwater housing and several Broncolor power packs power to near full to give it that night effect when competing with the sun.  The difficult part was waiting for so much wattage to recycle when your subject is holding their breath.  Lauren was pretty much a sport about the whole thing even know the pool was very cold.

I secured the lighting to the fence a safe distance from the water to keep things ultra safe.  If I was closer I could have used less light.  I decided to keep it safe which really slowed things down.  Once we got the rhythm of the images down they started to get pretty consistent.  It seemed hard to get a good facial expression underwater.  We had to work a bit to figure it out.

Check out Disney Hall in these photos. We were lucky to be able to shoot there, thanks to Lana.  The woods were easier than expected too, we found the spot in the forest next door.
