WATER.COLORS with Sony - by Aaron.W

[divelogic]

Hi All,
the Sony Pro site is finally launched, and I am finally allowed to show the images that I did for them.
Sony has approached me to do a special 'WATER.COLORS' series for their Alpha DSLRs.
All shots are commissioned by Sony, and cameras and housings are also sponsored by Sony
Special thanks to MC Scuba and a big thank you to those who helped out in anyway for this production. (big or small!)
Here's the link, Have fun!

it started with a crazy idea I had of putting 2 shots in 1. Wanted to show to opposing movement of water flowing down and bubbles flowing up.
Its of cos done in 2 shots. The trick is lighting the model exactly the same (both U/W and topside) So you gotta know wat you want before you shoot. the rest is of cos a **** load of DI to put them simlessly together.

Those pictures are just amazing. Congrats on putting together an awesome collection, look forward to more!

Always wanted to try UW photography but no $$$, so I'm really envious.

Whoa! don't say globally la.. Too heavy a word!
Thanks anyway!
No, Sony doesn't do housings for the Alpha.
Had to custom and fly in an Ikelite. (they did not have the housing for the A 700 at that time... not sure about now though)
And ya, its Sea n Sea strobes... So you are spot on for both.. sharp eye bro!

Where got so many volunteers to hold lights.. hahah
Anyway, light stands are much better.. they don't complain, no need to surface for air, and best of all, no need to pay them!! haha

Ya, been in talks with some people about doing a book..
But dun think I have enough to put togather a good one as of now..
we shall see
