Check out all dem buttons on the back!

GF6 with kit lens + substantially larger underwater case on the right.

Camera in the case, it’s a tight fit!

All ready to go.

I’ve been asked to do a maternity shoot. I was asked to take nudes of a very pregnant woman around 15 years ago, and refused back then because I wasn’t confident enough at the time, but I’m up for the challenge now.

I was thinking silhouetted (which is something I like to do anyways), black & white perhaps. I thought I’d ask for opinions and suggestions on Facebook and I had a friend (here’s looking at you Jenny!) suggest “underwater”!

I’m well aware of the various underwater cases available for popular cameras out there. I’m an eBay junkie and every time I’ve owned a camera I love those cases pop up in eBay searches. The case I ended up with says it’s waterproof to up to 40M, that’s way more than I need. It fits my GF6 with it’s 14-42mm kit lens, comes with a neck strap, wrist rope, spare O-ring gasket and water sealing grease you’re meant to use every time you seal the camera in the unit.

The kit lens isn’t my fave lens for the GF6, but I’m excited to give this a go. It’s pretty well built and every single button/function on the camera works too!

Had a snappy shoot with Julie yesterday. Julie’s a nurse who works in emergency, she’s seen all sorts of hardcore shit which made for some pretty interesting conversation! Follow her on Instagram: @msjmyra

Had my second shoot with Cara yesterday, and whilst our first shoot was pretty hot, we got even hotter this time! Some of the shots were a little too hot to use in the end and that’s made me question a few things.

I’ve had quite a bit of time to assess and re-assess what I’ve been doing with photography lately. I’m still learning so much, and hungry to push myself further. My concerns about people questioning the validity or respectability of my new “hobby” is slowly but surely being put to rest and I’m starting to be more open to trying new things, be it a maternity shoot (on the cards in the next few months!) or erotic, which I think might be a tougher than I expect as I can’t say that I like the idea of people fapping over my images, so shooting erotic photography whilst still keeping it “classy” (need a better word for this, “real” perhaps?) will be a challenge.

Ultimately I’m trying my best to shoot and capture something beautiful with the person in front of me, with as little direction and post editing as possible. Who am I to tell my models what poses to do, or what to wear? I simply shoot what’s in front of me to my best ability and I’m starting to feel really comfortable with that.

Someone reported a photo I uploaded to my own personal facebook page. Really?! Facebook let me know that they were going to review the report over the next 2 days, and they gave me the option of deleting my post (which I wouldn’t of-course!). Within a few hours I got a message to tell me they reviewed my image and found that it didn’t violate their guidelines on nudity. It’s a small win, but it feels significant (and good!).
