Ponyo Underwater - The Wizard and the Sea Goddess

The Shoot:

Ponyo shoot TAKE 2 from last time, as it was so cold last time, we thought we would give it another go in a warmed up pool. And this time at Arleh's house. We got some absolutely stunning shots that literally take my breath away when I look through them. Simply amazing work from :iconhoukiboshi: or Straw our fantastic photographer and ever resilient friend.

:iconhoukiboshi: still couldn't swim, but we gave her a cement block this time in the pool so she could hold herself down.
And also a proper camera case we hired out for mucho expensive-le for the day (totally worth it). All the pictures came out beautifully clear and wonderfully imagined as we got more freedom to move around.

Many thanks also to
:iconqueencattabby: and :icontreminate: for being our awesome helpers on the day, saving us from drowning again and holding us down in the water.

The Costume:

Officially ruined by this shoot but WHO CARES? Lots of pictures to come. Instead of a blue it's now a light green haha.

Lesson learned for underwater shoots: Unheated chlorine pool, will not damage your costume (assuming you chlorinated less than 5 days hence)
Heated salt + chlorine pool will, as the heat activates the fading in the fabric.

But I do love my coat with it's perfect stripe still, and ~arlo-arleh's costume with it's 2 layers of satin for extra flow it's just completely etheral underwater.

Though I can't count how many times we almost strangled ourselves with our hair lol.

I've always wondered...when you're underwater how do you get the wig to stay on your head?

A net wig cap and a whole box of bobby pins, then you do a heavy metal head roll to test before getting in the water because once it's wet, its done for.

Sounds hard and A LOT of work. But I guess it paid off, 'cause this looks GREAT!
