Here is the first picture I got from the photographer. I hope you will like it. It's not my favorite one but it's a good start ;)

wow arion it looks great!
Although it looks a bit dark, it's lovely to see you in your tail! You look a bit uncomfortable, was this pose hard to do for you?
Sorry for being nit picky, being a photographer myself makes me look at all the details. =)
Uncomfortable? I wouldn't say that. Let's just say that I was... unexperienced? It was the first photoshoot in my tail so it's not perfect and I still have a long way to go to figure out the best posing and expressions in order to give that magical feeling we're looking for.Quote:

Better pictures will come. I'm waiting for the photographer to edit them and send them to me. I'm looking forward to show you all what I did.
That's a lovely pic, Arion. The light is just magical. :thumbs-up:
Looking forward to more!
Jessica Pearl, love your video (and the music!). Wow.
Arion that tail suits you perfectly! Cannot wait to see more pictures! You make a perfect merman:)

What a lovely tail, and the colors differently suits you :)
Arion, I think that's a lovely photo! A little editing will easily fix the shadows. And Jessica, what a magical video! The colors and reflections of the water on your tails is just startlingly beautiful.
Looking as fabulous as ever! Can't wait to see the rest! (the downside of tail shoots being there's no chance to see your rather cute butt. *sigh*) ;)
Thank you Seavanna.Quote:

:mermaid kiss: Oh YEAH! LIKIN' that swimsuit!
So I had my photoshoot yesterday! Wow what an experience! The photographer had never shot a tail before and this was my first time in it so we experimented together; we both already can't wait to shoot again!
It took me about 15 minutes to get into my tail, certainly not as bad as I expected but I was luuuuuuubed up. lol! I had an ankle wrinkle but I know that I will get better at getting it on smooth.
This was a pic he snapped with my cell phone

I felt like I was flying in the tail. I loved it soooo much! The one part I'm not sure on yet is the twins cut a 'v' in the scales in the front which I think really allowed the part over my back/butt to catch the water when I was swimming. I'm not sure why they cut it; the only think I can think of is when I told them I wanted my nude waist fade to got in a 'v' in the front they thought I wanted the edge of the tail to do that? I will have to swim with the tail a bit more I think to know how I feel about it but I'm not sure if it's 'fixable' eve if I wanted it to be.
I was supposed to go swimming again today but our friends in town from Missouri didn't leave till later than expected so we stayed home. :( I do get to swim next sunday though!
Wow Blaze! The photos are so pretty, and your tail is so BRIGHT! How badly does the cut in the front affect water getting under the back? I've asked for the front of mine to actually be cut into a curve, so I'm curious if I should just suck it up and have a 'high waisted' tail if it's going to cause the top of the tail to catch in the water to have it curve down.
Also I FINALLY chose the deign for my tail after 4 months of constant sketching :P I knew I wanted a tail designed after a baby lion fish and a mainly light-colored tail, but it's been hard to blend all the colors in good amounts and translate the many patterns of the fish into a long, cohesive looking tail instead of a chubby baby fish! I also knew I wanted ankle fins and tentacles. This tail will get lots of both swim time and land time, and needs to look good in photos- I know a lot of metallic/sparkly things look great up close but in photos sometimes they fall short. Here is it! I hope you all like it! I can hardly wait until September!! :swoon:Attachment 22877Attachment 22878
Inspiration fish! Attachment 22879
I don't know if it was because I didn't have it up high enough but while it wasn't enough to me to notice it whole I was swimming i saw it in some of the photos when I started moving fast. Will hav to get some underwater video of it.
Spectacular, Blaze! And love the baby lionfish design, Maressa.
Everyone looks so fantastic! I'm so happy for everyone :) and maressa that design looks great :)
