Mermaid Shots

Well you've seen the behind the scenes shots I took on my phone, but now I've finally got the pro shots from the mermaid shoot! Check them out. If you want to know more about this shoot go back to my other post 'Mermaid Shoot'.

Mermaid Shoot

I have always wanted to be a mermaid! And at this shoot I got to live out that dream!
Sideshow are opening a store in Melbourne Central so they need promo material and stuff to put on the walls of the shop.
As Sideshow refers to a circus sideshow, this was the theme of the shoot. I got to be the mermaid!
Hair and make-up was fun! I got extension pieces put in my hair and it was all teased and messed up. Shells and seaweed were added too haha!
My eyes were shimmery green and I got to wear awesome long false lashes with beads that looked like water droplets on the ends.
We had some issues taping the shell top on but managed in the end!
I did a few shots by myself and with the rest of the models but my main role was to help show off the menswear. I worked with a male model (the ringmaster) who's jacket was getting pulled by the vicious sea mermaid to reveal the t-shirts from the sideshow range.
I loved this shoot! But sitting on the stool was a bit of a challenge... As the tail was pinned around my legs, if I had fallen I just would have gone straight onto the ground haha! And sitting on that tiny stool for hours was a little painful, but worth it! There was also a hilarious incident when one of the shells fell off and I was stuck on the stool and couldn't move to get it!
We ate some fairyfloss and popcorn off the set and got to take home a toffee apple so that was a nice bonus as a LOVE fairyfloss! I want to go to the circus!
