Dreaming of Atlantis
Title: Dreaming of Atlantis
Like the shot? Fav it!

He holds her up in strong solid arms... effortlessly, while she gently floats around him, carresing him gently.
Underwater, everything becomes slower and timless.
I want this moment to last forever.
Together, we dream of Atlantis.

This shot is actually the result of my flash misfires. A happy mistake that made me see the shot a little differently. While all the other shots looked dreamy and romantic, this one had a cold melancholic and ethereal feel that really strung a chord with me.
The models in this shot are Fey Cody and Vladimir Tatarinoff Lissouba.
To make the scene look like it was underwater, the following stock images were used:
Bubbles from - joscos.deviantart.com/art/Photo5-Bubbles-101416628
Surface water glow from - alibakhtiar.deviantart.com/art/Under-water-81945263
Arcane Symbol on Vlad - www.obsidiandawn.com/arcane-circles-photoshop-gimp-brushes
Note: The black band on the male models face was enhanced/modified from the airbrushed makeup of Joanie Lapointe

First of a series of shots from my largest shoot ever (check out some backstage shots HERE - www.facebook.com/pages/Von-Wong-Photography-Montreal-Base....
The original concept developed when I met model Fey Cody online, who told me that she had lost many people in her life and would like to do something that showed how they're spirits still lived on and were carried on within her. This concept combined with a sad story of loneliness that a good friend of mine Sabrina had told me resulted in the image you see above. I edited this picture yesterday and took advantage of a 40% off special they had at provisia and printed it out in a gigantic 24x30" format that you can check out in crappy webcam version HERE (img.skitch.com/20100316-frqb4pjwn29jb2s8eh9b773ciy.jpg)
