<\/p>\nIn my many years working as a professional photographer I have taken pictures of a wide range of subjects.\u00a0 I\u2019ve photographed products, people, models, real estate, weddings, headshots and hundreds of corporate events.\u00a0 One of the reasons why I love being a photographer has to do with all the great places I get to visit, all the cool people I get to meet, and all the unique photo assignments I get to experience.\u00a0 I find photography, especially advertising photography an exercise in creative problem solving mixed with some luck.\u00a0 Of course you need to be well prepared to get the shot when the decisive moment arrives.\u00a0\u00a0 Some advertising projects are not at all dependent on capturing a moment in time.\u00a0 I often find myself photographing food still live photos from menus and online advertising.\u00a0 It\u2019s not like a club sandwich is going to swim up and only give you one second to get this shot.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
One concern about shooting in a pool was how clear was the water?\u00a0 Another question, she color is the water and what color is are the pool walls.\u00a0 If the water is not clear then the dolphin is going to need to be really close,\u00a0 Having the dolphin close means I\u2019ll need a wide angle lens,\u00a0 It also will require a faster shutter speed.\u00a0 As it turned out the water was not clear.\u00a0 The water had algae and small pieces of seaweed mixed in as well.\u00a0\u00a0 Once I got into the water with the dolphin I realize just how fast a dolphin is, even in a pool.\u00a0 Luckilyy the dolphin trainer who as wearing a wedding dress was able to get the dolphin to give her a kiss.\u00a0 It was a fast kiss, only about one second.<\/p>\n
I recently photographed a very interesting subject! \u00a0It all started while I was at a bridal networking event sponsored by Brides.com. I was talking with Stephanie Bosco-Luca when the subject of scuba diving came up. Then she asked, \u201cHow would you like to shoot a bride kissing a dolphin underwater?\u201d I didn\u2019t have to spend anytime thinking about it, \u201cSure,\u201d I said, \u201cwhen?\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Photographing a dolphin for an advertising campaign in Miami requires some serious decision making and planning.\u00a0 Some things you can\u2019t plan for, the movement and speed of the dolphin is out of your control.\u00a0 Some elements of the photo assignment can be planned for, simply knowing that your are shooting in an extreme situation requires preparing for anything.\u00a0 Extra cameras a wide range of lens types,extra lights and several different underwater housings all helped me get the shot.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The photo shoot took place at the Miami Seaquarium where we met with Dolphin trainer Heather Keenan who was also our \u201cunderwater bride.\u201d The Miami Seaquarium was being renovated for special events and corporate events. The venue will soon feature a new wedding ceremony location that will offer spectacular views of Biscayne Bay and the Miami skyline.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
With the assistance of Valerie Brizuela Mahon, from Imagine Weddings and Events along with my photography assistant, Natalie, I hit the water. The weather was perfect and our dolphin \u201cgroom\u201d was all to happy to give Heather a smooch for the camera.<\/p>\n
HERE IS THE FINAL AD AS IT WILL APPEAR IN BRIDES MAGAZINE!!<\/p>\n
