Water + Technology = Not a Good Idea.

This past week, I had a photoshoot with Caramente Clothing. It was so much fun, the inspiration for the designer's current collection was mermaids! So many of the shots were taken underwater, our location was in a salt water pool, so no fabrics were harmed in the shoot! As far as I could see, the collection looked amazing in the water, the skirts and dresses flailed out enough to show off the shape of it. The day started out rainy, luckily enough it ended early so we could have some sunshine onto the pool.  The make up artist created some really beautiful looks, alot of color and shimmer, and to my surprise they lasted even after being underwater. It was a little trick that the makeup artist, Alicia, like to call hairspray! As far as styling the models I also made floral crowns, they complimented the looks very well.

After a while, the photographer's camera stopped working, right in the middle of our photoshoot! See, he was using this water proof case for his camera, it was ok for the first two hours, then it just didn't want to turn back on. I guess it wasn't as waterproof as we thought. Good thing I was there with my camera! I then had to fill in and take the role of photographer! It's a good thing i'm a creative individual!  I really like how my photos turned out! It's even more fun editing, photoshop is my best friend!

I took photos of the models from outside of the pool, over top of them, I was not going to ruin my Canon! 

                                                                                                     

Quirky and floral gals!

Overall, the photoshoot was nothing short of fun and exciting! The models were great to work with and I sort of became the "hero" for the day by filling in as photographer. I guess there's something else to add to my repertoire! It got me thinking, with all the technology and intelligence we have nowadays, why wouldn't companies make cameras and even cell phones that are already waterproof, rather than having to buy external skins and shells to waterproof it?!

On a different note, Caramente Clothing is having a sale on it's summer collection, up 50% off on everything, until August 9th! I know what I want from the line!
