Seychelles: Below the Waves

Description

This shoot, lot's to say ;w;
--
This is a shoot I have wanted to do for a very long time now. The idea of water has always fascinated me. When I got my new camera that could do shoots underwater, I really wanted to try it out with a cosplay. After sitting for a long time and talking to different people, I decided Seychelles is the best option for this shoot. She is so often drawn underwater, but not always swimming. She is drawn as though she just, lives below the waves, like she can exist in the water. I wanted to play with that idea. I didn't want swimming shots, I just wanted Seychelles existing where only she can go, under the sea~

The shoot:
Sooo the shoot was harder then I expected. When I walked onto the deck my mum just quirked a brow and was like "You're going underwater like /that?/" It was amusing. But then once I got under, the real fun started. The shots were each taken at 8 feet under water. That depth, with the weight of hair extensions (Yes only half that hair is real), the dress, the bows... You have to resettle everything you are wearing, get it settled, then pose...It leaves you with very little air left to pose. And trying to look not like you are going to explode while you do it xDD Took hours, but I like what came out of it

This is adding to my already growing set of Seychelles cosplay, with two more planned for the summer. She is such an underappreciated character, I want to do her justice ;w;
