Like a cheesy movie franchise, its back! And this time its personal.
If you thought I hadn't attempted to drown enough models then you would be firmly mistaken as I embark on another underwater adventure with my camera.
Why the second shoot?
I think the best and most obvious answer is to get more experience. Never can you have too much experience (unless your not getting paid for it and you should) and lets be honest, your best work comes from your own personal work. Its very difficult to create work you are ultimately really happy with from another persons brief or idea. It can be the case that a client or employer will also interfere with a project in order to move it closer to how they see it. From that, your vision suffers. In your my own personal work such as this, I have complete control over what is happening and what I want to achieve.
That being said, things go wrong. That happened last time when I couldn't get a flash to fire while I was under the water. This shoot gives me the opportunity to try for the images that I was couldn't get the first time. It also means that people who couldn't come along the first time can this time.
The cast is larger!
So, what's the plan?
Images butchered from my notes
First things first, I want to try and get this Ghost in the Shell image I tried to get from last time and failed. From those images I will also attempt a few underwater portraits of the people who are taking part.
I liked some of the images I took last time too so lets see if I can do it better. I believe the blue flowing skirt is to make an appearance.
These shots are all very nice but if I want to pitch this idea to people who might want to hire me its time to get some use full shots for someone else. The most likely candidates for this are going to be swimming teams of varying discipline so we are going to try a few simple swimming shots to see if this is feasible and from them maybe put together a pitch.
VIDEO! Hopefully we will be getting a videographer coming along too for some behind the scenes imagery.
Here is the link to the pinterest mood board :-
Its more expensive from the last shoot.
You said more people are coming?
Yep! Bucket tonnes! At least 4 models, MUA, Assistant, videographer...its gonna be fun!
I will of course be broadcasting some of this live on Instagram for your enjoyment.
