Bathtime voyage 🛁
A couple of months ago, I created a series of tutorials for Professional Photographers of America where I shared my full creative process and approach to photography, how I plan, shoot, and edit an image from start to finish. They are available on their YouTube channel!

This concept started with a @fdphotostudio_ny that I used before. While looking at their website, I found a room with dark textured walls and a vintage white bathtub. That image instantly sparked an idea. I wanted the tub to be the center of the story, surrounded by whimsical “soap bubbles and bath foam” made from white and clear balloons and using it as a visual metaphor. A bright orange origami paper boat symbolizes childhood, imagination and voyage. It pops against the dark background and matches the model’s hair.
We arrived at the studio and got right to work. First, I folded the orange paper boat. Then I moved to the balloon bubble bath setup. I used an electric pump to blow them up and speed up the process, but tying them and attaching them to the balloon tape took forever and we wasted a lot of studio time! I also realized I had bought the wrong kind of white balloons. They weren’t as bright as I’d hoped. Not ideal, but nothing I couldn’t fix in Photoshop.
Once the setup was done, the model Marisa Roper arrived. She wore a nude-colored top to keep the look consistent with the concept, with her hair up and natural makeup. Normally, people don’t wear clothes when taking a bath, but I wanted the model to be comfortable and the content to be social media friendly.
For a bit of magic, I used the Practical Magic & Innovation SmokeNinja Pro haze machine with a bubble attachment. It created bubbles filled with smoke that burst into little clouds. It looked beautiful, but the room filled up fast, so I had to be careful not to overdo it.
In editing, I went for cool, muted tones with a deep teal wall and kept the orange boat vibrant to create a strong complementary color scheme. I added more balloons and created more brightness separation between them. I also added smoke and smoke bubbles.

We gave the Raptor a bath before the photoshoot on Sunday. About 20 minutes later we found some mud and it is was
dirty again.

Pancho was unimpressed with the cold hose bath I gave him. He must be accustomed to a warm-water tub bath. With bubbles and scented oil. Rose petals, maybe.
Pancho made #30 in Explore! Thank you!
