Comments are very appreciated. please leave one!
I thought I might say a little bit about how we got these Ophelia shots. Missy is a VERY talented photographer friend of mine (to view her work, go http://missyjanek.deviantart.com/) and she has also modeled for me in the past. I thought she’d be great for this concept, so we started about 3pm yesterday. All was going well until she got in the pool and said “I don’t know how to swim!”
So we struggled and propped her up with pool noodles and floaties and Adam even held her legs while she tried to stay afloat. I felt like she really was going to drown a couple of times! (We kept her in the shallow end, of course! and my dog was keeping watch as life guard.)
For someone who had not really been in water before, I think she did a great job. :)

The subtleness of this image and its delicate treatment make it so very powerful.
I’m sitting in Sydney’s sweltering heat but the icy coldness of the image is palpable to me.
Fabulous!
