Beach Swimwear Shoot with Maria. Summer Vibes throwback. Video (2 of 2) from our photo shoot with the gorgeous Maria @mariaarruty from Royalle Modelling (https://www.royallemodelling.com.au/) in the picturesque views of Bombo Beach and Bombo Quarry. Photographed a while back and been going through a revisiting video editing phase during this down time. The shoot was late afternoon/sunset making use available light for the video while mixing studio lighting/ambient for the photo shoot.

Something about this video is that it was filmed only using a Samsung S7 Phone paired with Zhiyun Smooth Q 3 Axis Gimbal (Its what I had at the time). Video editing in Davinci Resolve.

Scuba Diving Camia II, Boracay Philippines. Heres

Scuba Diving Camia II, Boracay Philippines. Heres my diving video of Camia II located in Boracay, Philippines with WaterColors Boracay Diving Adventures.

Some information about the dive site.

The shipwreck is known as “Camia II”. It was sank in January 2001 to make an artificial wreck in Boracay. Is a 37m long cargo boat with well developed artificial reef that include huge Red Bass, School of Batfish, Bluefin Trevallies and as you swim around the wreck as Scorpion Fish.
Underwater Camera Setup is a Canon 5D MIII with a Canon 16-35mm f4L IS wide angle lens with a red Magic Filter and Sea&Sea Internal Correction optical filter attached.
The rest of the filming done on a Huawei P30 Pro on a DJI Osmo 3 Gimbal.

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.

From my second underwater test shoot this season we gorgeous Imogen (@lucid_mutant) from @royallemodelling first time modelling this challenging genre and creating some magical images.
Ive increased my continuous lighting considerably from the previous shoot though feel I still need another stop or two to reach a good balance or hooking up studio strobes into the mix via optic cable.

My first underwater shoot for the season with Nath

My first underwater shoot for the season with Nathalie. The shoot started of experimenting with LED based lighting options to workout their suitability for my projects. I probably need at least four times or more lighting power with what I was working with for comfort but regardless we still created some beautiful images.

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

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.
