Statueque Lioness - Cindy (Patreon)

When shooting underwater I click away fast because, unlike on land, where most elements of a shot are stationary, underwater everything is moving in multiple axis of motion - I am drifting, the model is drifting, because we could both be going in any direction, the light is changing every moment as well. So i just shoot at lot.  It is always interesting to see how one moment a subject can look so awkward, but a frame or two later there is a moment of synchronicity where by chance I have caught the model at an instance of grace.

I should note that after I did this shoot 8 years ago, I chose to edit this photo to be a solid wall of blue behind the model.  I came across that edit when i was making a new treatment for the series for posting to Patreon, and while I wouldn't make the same decision today, I am posting this one edited like that anyway.
