31 The Swimmer

Concept

One of the joys I find in making images of female art nudes is the fun of creating backgrounds for them. This image was shot while the model was on the move, and her pose and hair movement made it look to me as if I had photographed her underwater.

Lighting

To light her in my studio, I used one softbox (B) high behind her and another (A) with a grid high and slightly behind her.

Bubbles

Making a background like this can be an interesting exercise in and of itself. I filled three-quarters of a straight-sided glass vase with water. I stood the vase on a table in my studio and directed a flash unit at full power toward the white background. I was using a semi-macro lens on my Nikon. I wanted the greatest possible depth of field so the aperture was set at f/16. Focusing the camera halfway into the water and filling the frame with the vase, I was ready to begin. With the shutter release in one hand and a water jug in the other, I poured water into the vase and fired the shutter when I saw bubbles forming. Unless you are very lucky, you will usually have to make several attempts at this to get a usable image.
