In her first video of this underwater series, Ashley & Kimber walked us through the preparation & planning it takes to execute an underwater shoot, and in the second and final video, you'll see it all come together!
Over the course of three full days of shooting, Ashley and team explored the challenges of designing, sinking, and photographing an entire garden underwater. Ashley’s fine art-inspired English garden took cues from mother nature, ensuring that ethereal coral reef details were never to far from the underwater design. The flowers kept their vibrancy and structure throughout the entire multi-day shoot!
