Tankspace: Firestarter

Well, after Posts featuring Tankspace images HERE, HERE and HERE, I'm now ready to crack on with the images from this final set. There were 6 models in total, the first 3 were featured in the last Post, and now with the images for the second 3 models done I'm on the final stretch.

Lanina

The bonus of working with lots of different models is that they all bring a different angle or skill set to the shoot... For Lanina, that meant Fire!

Lanina - Behind The Scenes

Now, we all know that Fire and Water don't mix. For this reason the main water rig was turned off, and a jet of water from a shower head was used. This was pointed just behind the model, so we could get the effect of the rain without it affecting the fire itself.

Lanina

It was quite obvious that Lanina knew what she was doing, so we let her get on with it and decide what poses to take, and we took it in turns trying to capture it... and no-one expected her to get this close to the fire

This was a fantastic little set, and it meant I had a chance to get some different images for my portfolio, I think that one just above is one of my favourites from the whole days shooting.

Lanina

Not only was there a slightly unhealthy obsession with fire, but she was also fantastic underwater in the Tank. Some people are are effortlessly graceful, creating beautiful and elegant poses with absolute ease... this was another winner in my book!

Another naturally elegant model was of course Lucille (who I've already mentioned in previous posts)

Lucille

Probably one of the more experienced models here, and for a normal shoot she charges quite a high rate. Lucille did say that even though she normally gets paid for work, she is happy to do TFP (Time For Prints) for these water shoots, just because it is a great chance of getting something unique for her portfolio

Hayleigh

On the other hand, Hayleigh was out of her comfort zone. She has done modelling in the past, but only really as a Bodypaint model. Where its more about being a canvas for an artist to paint on, than having to strike any particular poses.

Hayleigh

That as it may, Hayleigh was excited to do something new, and tick this off her 'bucket list' and personally, I think that even with the limited experience, I thought she was excellent.... full of energy and enthusiasm.

And there we have it... 2000 images, 8 hours shooting, 50 hours editing (not an exagaration!) I have made it to the end!

I thoroughly enjoyed this, but it is a relief to finally finish. I don't know when my next photography shoot is but there won't be any water involved thats for sure....

As always, Thank you for reading, I hope you found it interesting.
