Location
In a swimming pool near Bern, SwitzerlandTime
The picture was taken at noon, but since it was an indoor shooting, the time does not really matter for the lighting.Lighting
I used two Seacam underwater flashguns at about half the power.Equipment
Canon EOS 5D Mark II, Canon EF 20mm, Seacam underwater housing and two Seacam underwater flashguns.Inspiration
When doing underwater photography, I always try to play with the viewers' senses. I therefore went very close to the water surface and rotated the image.Editing
I did some beauty retouching on the model like use the Gaussian Blur filter on her skin. Further, I rotated the image by 180 degree. But most of the effect comes from desaturating the colors by around 85%.In my camera bag
Usually, I have a D-SLR, my Canon EF 16-35mm, 24-70mm and 50mm in my bag, and usually a tripod. U complete underwater photography equipment is not something you just carry around like that, though.Feedback
I prefer doing underwater photography in warm waters. I usually spend hours in the pool. It's up to the photographer whether he wants to show solidarity with the model or not and wear swimming trunks or a wet suit. But the model for sure does not wear a wetsuit, and if she get's cold, the shooting is over. I therefore prefer really warm and cozy water, for the model's and the shootings sake.
