The Brief

This one was a personal project with a bit more creativity on a hot summer’s day. We wanted the images to stand out from the normal studio setting, so what better setting than in the sea?

Jude and I had great fun splashing around getting the images while a beach full of people watched this unusual setup.

I used an older DSLR and lens as I wanted a slightly more ‘retro’ look rather than the super sharp images that my more modern cameras produce - and also in case I dropped it in the sea!

The Results

Letting the creativity flow, we mixed up the poses and images to create something unusual and unique. Jude was a great sport, getting fully immersed in the project - no pun intended!
