29 Oct 20 Comment Gorgeous reflection and animal. Nicely done with a 300mm, I think the top part of the image might be slightly overexposed, I would try to use the gradual filter / mask with lightroom to adjust it. Oct 18th
29 Oct 20 Comment Love it, great capture! perhaps masking the dress and remove shadows / increase exposure slightly might bring some more details? Where was this taken? Oct 16th
29 Oct 20 Comment I prefer this one from last month, the cloud texture is great and in focus. Love the tones & hue! Oct 16th
29 Oct 20 Comment Gorgeous place and capture! Love the different colors and the path and shadows from the windows add to the story . The registers did not bother me but seeing the image without them works too. Oct 16th
29 Oct 20 Comment Very nice capture, the red does not bother me. I like the way Karen was able to have it point up a bit, seems to flow better for me. Oct 13th
29 Oct 20 Comment Very nice portrait, probably would work well in low tone or B&W too. Oct 13th
29 Oct 20 Reply Hi Kathleen, Thank you for the feedback - While we do a good amount of Aquatic photography during daylight, doing it at night is new and thus I am still working on the concept. It is actually more than average challenging for the couples (as well as for myself) - Yes the bubbles were added after the fact at post processing, I am playing around with different effects from smoke to bubbles:-). Here is one of the original without any added effects. This couple actually did very well, realizing difficult poses underwater without any bubbles from the nose and with good expressions, they also had fun during the shooting:-) Oct 13th
29 Oct 20 Comment @ Bill and Bob,
Thank you for the positive comments, this is still in concept mode and I have much improvements to make. These sessions are actually difficult for many we have tested with, eyes closed, bubbles coming out of the nose, bad expressions etc..

The workflow to treat the image is quite different as it also involves doing the make up, basically, basic adjustments in LR, particle clean up in PS, makeup in Portrait Pro and then special effects such as the bubbles. We do do deliver "plain photos" meaning no bubbles and also some with added effects.

We started to add some of these on our web site https://www.boraboraphotovideo.com/portfolio-aquatic-night-photography/ - with the idea to come up with a sun-real look.

We are planning one of these session to take place in Connecticut early May 2021.
