Aphrodite | 11:12PM Jun 15, 2008
Tonight’s title is quite possibly one of the most fitting I have come up with. Why you ask? The answer lies, as you might suspect, in Greek mythology. As the story goes, not only was Aphrodite beautiful, much like Samantha, but she also was born on the crest of a wave. To answer your question, no … I can’t get much more corny.
Enough with mythology, lets get back to photography, shall we? This shot was one hell of a pain in the butt. Not only was Samantha forced to stay still as the frigid water splashed over her, but I myself was almost entirely submerged as well, moving my camera up and down in rhythm with the waves as to avoid a very costly water damage bill.
I know some of you are just dying to hear how I am lighting all these, right? I thought that might be the case. Don’t worry, I have you covered, over on my Flickr account, I have uploaded an EXTRA SPECIAL PHOTO for all you die hard strobists out there. Before you ask, yes … I did have all that equipment dangling precariously above the water. Would you honestly expect anything less?
