I’d like to see more of the dresses and have them be a bit clearer. It works for these shots, but they’re just a little too cloudy for me.

It’s not just the light, for me a rim light on the shots would have helped give the models more of a depth with in the images but the overall image quality seems cloudy and soft. Obviously could just be the video player but I’d be interested in seeing a good resolution version of them.

I think the fact that Kevin shoots outdoors has something to do with it. The sunlight brightens the shot up way more than a strobe EVER could, especially underwater.

Kie – It’s not just you

Martin – I looked at Kevin’s site too and I couldn’t agree with you more. LOVED the shots there.

I checked Kevin’s website and his shots look like thousand times sharper and clearer then those in this video. Johnatan should probably change the water in the pool someday…

Hmm, is it me or are those shots not great?
Interesting technique though.

Great look at an underwater shoot. Loved the walkthrough of the lighting set-up.

The one thing that bothered me a bit, though, was I didn’t feel like the final images quite captured the bridal fashion. The combination of the poses and the light brought the focus more to the model’s faces than to what they were wearing. Also, the light seemed to fall off very quickly and the dresses got lost in the darkness.
