Into the Deep
While I stayed at the Rockhouse in Negril, Jamaica. Tanya stayed at Idle Awhile, also in Negril. We met up after the wedding for a day of shooting. When you’ve been working together for over 3 years, nothing really stands in your way in terms of conflicts in style, ideas, or even clothes. I can only hope for many more years to come. She is like wine, only gets better with age. Tanya is afraid of the deep dark ocean, and on the day of the shoot, it was overcast and no sun came through even the shallow waters. She was brave enough to take a ride out on Famous Vincent’s glass bottom snorkeling boat, as well as standing a few feet away from a rocky ledge over the cliff, all for pictures’ sake.
The day started at Tanya’s balcony while it thunderstormed. We went back to the Rockhouse and for about $35USD each, we took Famous Vincent’s boat out to shallow waters in the middle of nowhere to shoot. Vincent was nice enough to maneuver the boat around based on what lighting I wanted. Afterwards we took a few shots on cliffs at the Rockhouse and then back to my outdoor shower.
I was impressed how we covered three locations on an island while it’s nearly impossible to cover two even back at home. I just think we are a very efficient and experienced team together.
you saved the end for the end
These images are some of the best most relaxed shots we have cranked out. despite my fear of deep waters, I’m really glad we went out with Vincent on the glass bottom boat. We didn’t get the usual rolling around in the sand Caribbean shots but part of me is glad we got a darker more dramatic mood to them.
We defiantly have a formula now, it’s a no brainer. be sexy, be natural and bring very little clothing, don’t mess around with touching or fingers too much.
get in get out as fast as you can, over shooting is not necessary and then most importantly go eat!
i think we started at 2 and ended around 5-6, not bad at all! ok so a few casualties were had like bug bites. remember NO Cologne in the tropics!
Anyway, It was my 1st shoot out of the country, and not only did i get great images but i got some beach time too! what more could a girl ask for. You ROCK TONY and of course there will be more shoots to come.
Tanya
you are an amazing photographer… saw some of your work on a few friends and decided to check out your page.. you have an amazing talent
When you said glass bottom boat, I immediately envisioned a model laying ON the glass, with the coral reefs and fish etc. as background. Would have been an awesome shot, but you still did amazingly of course…
