This is sort of part of a series, Next to Angelo Animale there is this underwatercreature. Similar to a jellyfish, just below the surface, beauty in all its simplicity, dark in her own way.

In a pool underwater offcourseTime
in the afternoon on a cloudy day, it even rained a bit that day. But we did not let it get to us ;-)Lighting
I used just plain daylight, no flashes nothing special added. The pool bounces enough to get these soft tones.Equipment
Underwater housing and panasonic cameraInspiration
I already started the series with "Angelo animale" i decided i wanted to continue with a water creature, next in line is a fire and earth creature so the series becomes complete as the 4 elements.Editing
Yes, photoshop was used to even out the skin and take away disturbing elements in the background. Also color and contrast offcourse.In my camera bag

Use a model with experience in underwater photography, test her out in advance, be prepared for unexpected things (have someone keep an eye on her, while and between you are taking photographs, certainly in a deep pool or pond ALWAYS in open water). DO NOT TAKE UNEXPERIENCED MODELS IN OPEN WATER !! This is a recipe for failure and possible injury or drowning. Do breathing exercises in advance of shooting in the water and staying under with lead and without. Take it easy, take your time and have fun. Control your own breathing and when in open water, lock your camera to your body with a quicklock. Use the right equipment, ALWAYS have extra hands on deck for safety.
