From The Sea
Title:From the Sea
Artist: Jessica Tremp
Model: Jo O’Brien
THE MERMAID
A mermaid found a swimming lad,
Picked him for her own,
Pressed her body to his body,
Laughed; and plunging down
Forgot in cruel happiness
That even lovers drown.
William Butler Yeats
a few of my favourite things come together…mystery, the sea, earthy colours and textures and an overall sense of whimsicality and melancholy

It gives me the feeling to be on an other world where the paranormal is reality… It makes me dream and stimulates my fantasy…
Niamh Harmon
Great shot, really interesting
Matt Roberts
I’ll be honest, I don’t like the poem but I like the concept and I also like the image – it reminds me a lot of a music video for a song I can’t remember the name of.
bobbymcleod
love the dark lighting…the face/smile is very seductive…almost like she’s trying to lure the viewer to his watery grave!
samara
this is an amazing photo and i love what you wrote about it
tybatterham
Great shot, I must say it is also admirable that you manage your model into posing for these sorts of uncomfortable shots. I must say she can’t have been comfortable draped in smelly kelp with a butt full of sand but she looks relaxed and seductive;-) Well done.
