Hi....thanks for entering this into my 'beach oddities challenge'. Technically it's not quite what I was looking for, but it appeals to me, so it's already in my 'favorite' section.

Behind The Lens

Location

Ao Sane beach, Phuket - Thailand

Time

Late morning

Lighting

godox 360 hand held by my assistant camera right, cockin ND filter to balance sunlight with strobe, trigger and receiver

Equipment

Canon 5D MkIII, 24-105mm, godox 360 hand held by my assistant camera right, cockin ND filter, trigger and receiver

Inspiration

My friend and one of my favourite models is a "real life mermaid", she teaches how to become one and she also make and sells mermaid outfits, this one in particular is mad out of silicone and took her many many hours of hard work.

Editing

usual workflow in Lightroom (contrast, highlights, shadows...) minor removal of blemishes and skin softening in PS

In my camera bag

5D MkIII, 24-105mm, 40mm, 50mm, 70-200mm, strobes, light modifiers (umbrella, softbox, octa...), trigger and receivers, tripod

Feedback

off camera flash helps a lot, in the Thai sunlight either HSS (high sync speed) or use ND filters to balance natural light with flash
