concentration idea

My idea for the concentration portion of my portfolio is to photograph people underwater, focusing on the movement of the human body.

My inspiration is Elena Kalis. One of her works is shown below.

  1. Wow! I love the photograph by Kalis! Things to consider for your own works:
    Will you limit your color scheme?
    Consider photographic techniques such as creating shallow depth of field?
    Lighting?
    How much photoshop editing do you plan to do?
    Also plan out your poses and props.

  2. Holly,

    This will be a fun project! Will you photograph in an indoor pool? I'm assuming your models would have a hard time outside in this cold weather.
    What kind of photographic equipment are you planning on using? Do you have a camera equipped for underwater use?

    Also, Lois Greenfield has some phenomenal photographs of the motion of the human form:
