the return of the merman...
A photographer friend, Stan Ngo (check out: www.dragonshutter.com), who's now based in Sydney has just returned to Singapore for a break, and after shooting a couple of female models in the day, he invited me to do some test shots for him...
We were trying to come up with different ideas and themes for the photo shoot, and I thought since I am such a water freak, why not do an underwater shoot for the fun of it?
Thankfully, he knows someone who stays at a new condo with a nice big swimming pool that's relatively empty...
Just in case, I decided to use my own Fujifilm Finepix F40fd instead of his expensive DSLR camera, and I managed to find a waterproof bag (kinda like one of those specially designed Ziploc bags) for cameras that allows for underwater photo-taking!
So, here are the results (with a little bit of "mermanish" effects created by yours truly)...
The Return of the Merman
The images would have been much clearer and sharper if we had used the DSLR and with a proper underwater casing, but I kinda like the surreal effect here...
Will experiment with more such stuff soon, when I have the time... :-)
Anyway, as always, all my photos are not to be distributed or re-used without permission...
