The Story: This image was taken during an experimental shoot in my studio pool in Venice Beach, California. I was working with artist/body painter Michael Bui and his wife model Mida. Since the pool is over 10 feet, I was shooting while on scuba while Mida was free diving in the pool. After about 6 hours of body paint work and several hours of preparation in the pool with fabric backdrops and numerous underwater strobes placed around the pool we made this image. The bubble wand that Mida is holding is a painted piece of pvc pipe attached via a hose to a koi pond aerator which created the bubbles. I removed the hose from the image during post production in Photoshop.
