For whatever reason, no matter when I make my images websized, or link the web location, the pictures won't post :( so here is the link to my Facebook Photography page with the mermaid pictures I have taken. These girls were LOVELY to work with. I am hoping to work with them all again soon. Next time with an underwater camera. More pictures will be added as I am still editing some pictures. I am the photographer (not one of the mermaids. They are tagged in their pictures. So if you are one here ladies, give a shout out!

Does anyone have any tips on doing silicone tails in rivers? Most pretty waterfalls and swimming holes up here require a bit of a hike which isn’t fun with a silicone tail. I found a really pretty swimming hole with a tiny walk and a massive waterfall but the water is very deep.

Not a shoot just an edit of myself. Enjoy! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20181126/b0c371798a286d71872fd7484bd56a13.jpg

Went to Maui a few weeks ago and got pictures of myself underwater in my tail for the first time ever! The water was a little foggy that day (foggy for Hawaii, that is; by most ocean standards it was absolutely crystal) so it was hard to see the phone screen underwater and we therefore didn’t get too many good pictures. Still really excited, though!

Those are great shots! Looks like you had a boatload of fun.

Had my first dedicated underwater shoot this weekend! :D Have to work on my facial expression, though...

Edit: Don't know how to set up MerNetwork to show Dropbox images. Embedding as url shows only the link, but as img the link seems broken...
Edit: Switched to imgur, now it works.

Ooo! Looks like you're levitating!

[MermanOliver]

Ooo! Looks like you're levitating!The water was incredibly clear, and we were lucky that the bubbles of the scuba divers have all dissappeared by the time of the shoot. Although with a few bubbles more it might have looked even better, more like swimming in water and less like floating in mid-air... ;)

A friend of ours is getting into underwater photography in a serious fashion. This was his first time working with merfolk. I think we all did pretty well!
The photobomber was enjoying her first time in a tail, and is a natural!

[Echidna]

that's the coolest photobomb I've ever seen! ��

@Merman Oliver, is that the Dive Tower in Siegburg?
I didn't know they allowed freedivers, let alone merfolk.

Most dive facilities thereabouts I've looked into are still very focused on bubblers and seem to regard everything else as exotic (had to explain to them lengthily what I do, and they didn't seem to get it regardless)

They allow freedivers, at times there are way more freedivers than scuba divers there, and several freediving schools use it for teaching the "deep" part of the courses, as it has a maximum depth of 20m with a big ledge at 7ish.
If you want to go without a school you will need to have a buddy and certification (SSI/CMAS/AIDA/PADI etc), though. But if you do, they are very ok with merfolk.

The picture has been taken before the major refit this summer, now there seem to be way more "rock" themed decorations at the walls.

good to know!
if it weren't that expensive, I'd drag along some mers for regular bigger events. But as it stands, we'll probably have to stick to freezing our behinds off in lakes during summer :p

First time out with my Mernation tail! Though I only got a few pictures with Saelyyia, the whole pod had an absolute blast.

Hello!
I didn't have a real photoshoot but I got a new tail and I took some pictures and a short video.
I'm not sure how to post photos here but they are on my instagram.

So much amazing stuff going on in this thread! And just FYI for anyone wondering- MerNetwork rules do allow topless pics as long as they're not obviously sexual or distasteful. :thumbs-up:


And now I actually have things to post on this thread YAY!!

First one is an amature shoot that was done at Ocean Beach in San Diego on the rocks, right before I moved. HERE is a link to the Facebook album for the all of the pictures. (http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.375859652485589.85724.375567172514837&type=3)

Here are a few pics:


6077
6078
6079
6080

The last one was caught right as one of the many waves was crashing down on me. This was my first beach shoot (no idea why it took me nearly over 4 years haha) and I had an absolute blast doing it!

Hay I live in ocean beach now and am going swimming at sunset cliffs Friday! What a great mermaid town [emoji3590][emoji3590][emoji3590]

Photos from my photoshoot from yesterday, at the Omeo shipwreck dive trail. It’s a very popular location, hence why the water is quite turbid from everyone stirring up the sand. Not too good for when the mermaids want to play! But, the particles of sand do add a lovely touch to the photos. By the way, my Mernation tail swims beautifully, is fast and blends in perfectly with the Australian oceanic environment. I was so fast my merfriends had trouble keeping up with me!

(Yes, you can see in the second pic just how muscly my arms are ahaha)

Photos were taken by one of my merfriends who was also at the location!

Thank you!! The tail is brand new, and I'm so stoked with it. Mernation did an absolutely outstanding job with it and I can't be happier!

It really looks like your fish evolved here with that cryptic colouration.

My tail is inspired by an Australian fish, the King George whiting ;)

[Kwilena]

Aha! They did do an excellent job! Fantastic! I was vaguely speculating it might have been estuary nyola (cobbler) or Cheilodactylus rubrolabiatus, but the colours weren't convincing me of those. Was it a long build?

[RobertWalker]

Very interesting photo shoot and beautiful photos. I am just looking for inspiration for a future shoot. I also managed to find blog.depositphotos.com (https://blog.depositphotos.com/inspiration-friday-10-artists-10-projects-10-inspiring-ideas.html) with useful tips and inspiring photo projects. I would love to share them with you.

[Leonidas Lopez]

I want to share my amazing wedding photos also here. A professional photographer from Blue Bend Photography (https://www.bluebendphotography.com/) took them, and they turned out so beautiful that I want the whole world to see them. I highly recommend this company if you're looking for a photographer. Their work is stunning, and I believe everyone will love the photos as much as I do.
