In December my friend Cliff Brunk flew out from San Francisco to photograph Jessi and Ryan's wedding with me. While he was out here he wanted to experience an underwater shoot and to try his hand at it. You can see some of the great photographs he took on his blog at brunkblog.com. It had been a couple of months since I last did an underwater shoot, so it was fun to set something up and get back in the water. For this setup I had the opportunity to work with some wonderful people. Lisa Johnson did a wonderful job at the underwater makeup along with her a sweet assistant Jennifer. The brave models for this shoot were Rachel Wood and Lisa Panknin. The pool water had quite a bit of chlorine in it, which burned their eyes the entire time. I'm very appreciative for their efforts and commitment to push through the pain. Also a HUGE Thank You! to Jasmine Sterling, the clothing stylist, who worked so hard to pull the clothes and fabrics. She made a lot of alterations to the dresses and really got the vision for this concept. Thanks for going the extra mile!
Below are some of my favorites!

Cliff Awesome. That shot with both of them is totally epic! It reminds me on an Italian renaissance painting. (01.06.10, 6:36pm)
