The
third session with the new water pool was with Miranda, who's been one
of my most constant models over the past eight years. Her comfort with
modeling gave me the freedom to experiment with motion, something that
didn't work well in the smaller pool I used in Moncton.

One advantage of using studio flash with
the water pool images was its ability to freeze motion. In this case, I
asked Miranda to repeat a motion that produced interesting ripples in
the water around her. The success rate was incredibly low (perhaps
80-100 images for each success, but when it worked, the results were
quite striking.
This image was featured in the 2008 exhibition “
Memory of Water”.

The
more I work with the pools, the more focused I am on the beauty of
still water; the beautiful reflection of Miranda's leg, hip and torso
couldn't be more beautiful.

The
best thing about this session with Miranda was that her partner was
also posing with her; the added model made the photos a little more
challenging to make (two bodies are harder to pose than one, at times),
but the results were really pleasing.
