Did my last underwater shoot for the season on Friday. The pool is just too cold right now and after about about 5 minutes I start shaking. With respect to the model, I never use a wetsuit when shooting underwater....I believe we should both suffer for the sake of creating art.
Photographed the beautiful Laurai from Brisbane, who made a special stop over in Port Stephens on her way to Sydney. I am very grateful and honoured that she considered my work good enough to stop by and brave the cold water to shoot with me.

Now, how am I going to make it through winter without shooting underwater? Maybe there is a heated pool in this area I can borrow....who knows. I just love the freedom and diversity of making art underwater. I think I should take a trip up north to the great barrier reef and shoot in the open ocean...any models keen?
