Tests early last week for a job.  Testing without models first.  Just fooling around underwater.  Sorry,  I cannot show you the model work.

I have not done much color correction but just doing some work on some fun images.

The first three images in my port.  Will post later in the thread.

No,  I was joking.  Just proud of these new shots and wanted to share what I could.

Hi Mark,

Did you do the shoot?  I'd love to see the results. 

I have a bunch of underwater work in my portfolio but not much w/ models.  I'm working on changing that.

Cheers

You won't here me say this often, but I am jealous. Even your test shots are cool so I know the finals will be hot!

Thanks for the replies. 

Not sure when I can show the real shot part for it was a job.  I asked permission to show these for I was paid to test.  No models but to work out the ideas ahead of time in the pools.

Benny,  it you got the suit and the pool then let me know.
Also been working on a surfing shoot that was cancelled due to the Tsunami.  So getting that going again,  will do it locally.

Hi Mark and Benny,

I helped out a studio in St. Louis last year that wanted to photograph some executives (dresses and suit/ties) in a swimming pool.  I rented them some equipment (housing, ports, underwater strobes) and gave them some free advice.

It was for a drinking water company commercial shoot (Purewater Solutions) and I think they came out well.  You can see the shots in their portfolio on this page:

I want to do an underater model shoot and I've got everything lined up , just don't have time until Sept.

Cheers
James
