Underwater Mermaid Photography Workshop in Los Angeles
Sat, Nov 21, 8:00 PMJoin an **underwater photography workshop** with a professional mermaid: 3 looks, 5 photographers, and our last workshop of the year in LA. You don’t need to submerge. You shoot through the clear glass of the underwater tank in a professional photo studio featured on a cover of Vogue. Naiia Lajoie, the mermaid from our sold-out July rain workshop, returns with three looks, including a custom mermaid tail. Renowned LA photographer Aaron Ram, who has shot in this underwater studio many times, guides you through the shoot. **Why join** ✓ 3 looks with a professional mermaid, including a custom tail that is hard to find on your own ✓ Guidance from Aaron, who knows this studio well ✓ Only 5 photographers, so everyone gets real shooting time ✓ 3 hours in a studio that rents for $125 per hour, with the model and instructor included **Tickets** $419 per ticket. Just 5 spots! Join this event on Meetup, and we will send you ticket purchase instructions. A ticket also makes a good Christmas present for a photographer you know. **[The studio](https://www.fdphotostudio.com/studio-rent/olympic-1/)** You shoot through the glass from outside the pool, so you don’t need to get in the water or use a waterproof case. Two windows (4 ft by 4 ft and 2 ft by 2 ft) give you different angles. The pool is 19 ft long, 7.21 ft wide, and 5.2 to 5.9 ft deep. Studio lighting is provided and set up for the shoot. **What you will learn** * Look 1, Bodysuit: poses, expression, “hairography” * Look 2, Flowy Gown: slow movement transitions, how fabric behaves underwater, settling into the pose before the shot * Look 3, Mermaid: position in the water column (buoyancy), posing with a tail, safety Aaron also covers color theory, reflections, and photographing a subject that is always moving. **Schedule** * 12:00 to 12:45 PM: Setup, model preparation, and practice poses * 12:45 to 2:15 PM: Main shoot, creative shots, and outfit changes * 2:15 to 3:00 PM: Final shots and photo review Underwater posing is physically demanding, so the schedule gives Naiia short rests between looks. Use that time to review your images and ask Aaron questions. **What to bring** Your camera and a lens you’re comfortable shooting with (24 to 85mm full-frame equivalent recommended), a fully charged battery, a memory card with 32GB free, a microfiber cloth, and comfortable shoes for a wet floor. **Your model: Naiia Lajoie** ([@naiyathenaiad](https://www.instagram.com/naiyathenaiad/)) Professional model since 2007. Award-winning actress since 2009. Certified underwater + stunt performer since 2018. Magazine editor/columnist and multi-award-winning red carpet host. **Your instructor: Aaron Ram** ([@ram_entertainment](https://www.instagram.com/ram_entertainment/)) Renowned LA photographer specializing in dramatic lighting and water photography. His previous FD Photo Studio workshops sold out. **Good to know** Attendees are responsible for their own equipment, personal items, and personal safety. Aaron is on-site throughout to help with anything you need. The studio is shared, so please be respectful of other guests so everyone gets shoot time.
