Beautiful Motion

I sometimes get the pleasure to step beyond myself, waiting for stillness and expression rather then turbulence and action. I’m currently traveling for work with my girlfriend and luckily she has the grace and patience to indulge me with a series of pool photo shoots. Not really sure if these photo adventures have a purpose or meaning but maybe its better that way. There is that whimsical childlike excitement that comes from exploration. Water is my medium, this is my education

Skin tone is diluted by the distance of water between you and your subject, think of water as giant blue filter for your camera. This might be a more morbid photo then you are used too on my blog but my models skin is very light and this series of photos play on that contrast.

Here is the other extreme, matching skin tone underwater can add a vibrance to an otherwise dull photo

This is just us having fun, luckily I have long arms and a fisheye lens so I don’t need a 3rd person for stuff like this

We learned a lot from the first shoot and decided that the best photos were the ones that were still and screamed peacefulness. So we switched outfits and pools and continued to explore .

I’m not really used to portraying thoughtfulness and presenting it in a peaceful manor, I take surfing photos…

This pool was also a lot darker and deeper so it help capturing the moment from afar.

We had fun and learned a lot so hopefully I’ll be able to bring you more pool shots and just maybe I’ll figure out how to bring some of this calmness to surf photography
