Stephanie first contact me specifically about modeling in water in 2008, and we first met face to face during the Memory of Water exhibition
opening later that year. Since then we've worked together numerous
times, but this was her first chance to work with water and me in an
indoor context.

With
Stephanie, I continued exploring water sheeting off skin. Again,
repetition proved to be the key, as while reviewing images in camera I
noticed how the water formed almost a blanket around Stephanie's waist.
Returning to photographing, I focused my attention on this element, and
using the more responsive infra-red converted Canon 5D MKII, I was able
to time the image with the peak of the motion, yielding several strong
results, the best of which is displayed here.

In
many ways, the hardest thing to overcome in these sessions was my
tendnacy to continually repeat combinations that have worked in the
past; repeatedly I photographed models posing parallel to the camera,
for the simple reason that I knew it worked. Pushing against this, I
tried hard to explore the possibilies of models oriented at more extreme
angles; in this case, the result was really pleasing.
