So with a little extra time at the moment and the temporary pause in shoots I’ve been revisiting some of my past photoshoots and creating new edits or works from footage taken.. Here some from our underwaterwater shoot with Bonnie @mermodelbonnie @shellharbourmermaid in Shellharbour.

Introducing the gorgeous Alana from @RoyalleModelling for this magical underwater shot. Underwater modelling has got to be one of the hardest genres to shoot and she nailed it first time.
I had sourced the gown in a past trip while in the Philippines for an underwater ocean shoot a few years ago and have only managed to bring it back to Australia during my last trip to make use in my projects. Glad I did.

Ride that music.
@StuckatZero took on my underwater project with a bit of flare and challenge to create some magic along with @robynhuynh with HMUA/Styling.

I don't get many guys modelling in my projects so conceptualising suitable ideas took a little time. What often isn't seen in the frame is how physically and mentally demanding shooting underwater along with the risks but when the results turn out its always worth it.

Recently I did some underwater photos for the Mercon Australia Convention in Sydney. Shooting in a sunny day in a cold outdoor pool we managed to pull through and create some magical images which I'll be sharing over time here. My first one from the series has Mermaid Miffien @mermaidmiffien caressing the waters surface.
The tiny bubbles add a nice touch though wasn't intentional during the shoot - the tiny air bubbles in the water stick onto the camera housing dome creating this effect which left untouched can also cause havoc on images - simple solution is just to wipe the dome every now and then.

A common denomination for those who have never tried underwater modelling is the overestimation of the difficulty of posing underwater. Studying and practising out of water is another experience to what it is in and she did very well in our session. Will post more over time.

Continuing on with my UV project Sarah @smev97 vol

Continuing on with my UV project Sarah @smev97 volunteered to model for one of my impromptu shoots one Friday evening. My concept is a little jellyfish inspired and been playing with ideas on how to achieve it both on land and underwater. I bought a clear umbrella from Kmart which would be the basis of the head then white net textured fabric from spotlight which I cut up into tentacles. While shopping there I saw some party paper crafts which also looked like would work for tentacles - at least for the dry shoot as wouldn't last long in the water. I paint some textures into the clear umbrella with diluted white UV acrylic paint.

For Sarahs styling I worked the airbrush using the same white UV paint as was a little difficult sourcing white bodypaint and hence the paint cracking - which I thought worked anyways. For the hair we used temporary spray on hair colour which we later switched to neon wig for a greater intensity.

These shoots are always a creative challenge for me and always things to be learned for the next one.

My experimentations with underwater photography a

My experimentations with underwater photography and UV & Near UV light photography have led me into wanting to combine the two rather difficult genres for that extra challenge and to create new beautiful imagery.

Sarah returned for a 2nd underwater shoot and this time for underwater UV bodypainted theme. We used bright fluro/neon fabrics to create an outfit and waterproof UV bodypaints with me using my limited airbrushing skills to paint her. We had to use a neon wig for the hair to get glowing hair underwater - I'm not sure of any other way to do it as paint will just come straight off.

For the growing seabed I've been cutting up neon fabrics, strings and assorted items to attach on temporary base which I intend to grow over time in future shoots.

During Sarahs trip downunder to Sydney last month we collaborated last minute on a creative UV bodypainted shoot with Lyric as our model. I managed to make a little space in the garage where I could control the light as well as trying to keep the space heated due to shooting in the middle of Winter. We placed with a few concepts but this one ended up as my favourite from the set.

A shoot with Hannah @mermaid.tempest for my first land based UV shoot for the year. Being a cold evening in so close to Winter we had to forego the time consuming airbrushing and got messy and creative with the UV paints trying to work on a few looks. Its interesting playing with these paints and a little bit of water as they don't always react as we imagined it but regardless its a fun learning experience that helps develop ideas and techniques for the next shoot.

I've been loving the look and contrast of white dresses against a dark backdrop. I keep adding more materials on top that gives a sort of jellyfish look on them. Its Effie's second time shooting underwater with me with the first being one of the challenging UV style and a very different look to the one now.
Being Winter again in Sydney I have regressed from underwater shoots and shooting topside again and looking for more projects.

Stingerless Jelly Fish Lake in Sohoton, Surigao de

Stingerless Jelly Fish Lake in Sohoton, Surigao del Norte, Philippines.
A few weeks ago I visited the Surigao region of the Philippines for a fortnight and wanted to try and fit one of my previous concepts there in the jellyfish lake. We purchased the dress in the markets around Pasay in Manila and fabrics in the Surigao town. We caught a ferry to Soccoro to stay the night and then rented a boat to Sohoton to tour around and do some underwater shoots. Only when we arrived in the area we find the jelly fish a little more scarce then previously imagined due to not being the peak season. Regardless I've managed to make it work.
