Worked on a new variation of the Evil Mermaid with Amanda Mcfarlin Kaiser, a redhead model from Richmond, Virginia this past Tuesday. Amanda is one of those enthusiastic, creative, do-what-needs-to-be-done creative partners who are such a joy to work with.

Photography was done in the tank with the Nauticam-housed Canon 5D-MkIII wide angle and a variety of Ikelite DS-161 movie-light strobes on camera and on stainless steel light stands. Much of the underwater gear supplied by Reef Photo in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and SCUBAPRO in El Cajon, California.

Amanda did her makeup and the propping including the custom made top, canine fangs and luxury fishnet.
