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!
