The underwater fashion work is a recent development since 2012, this environment makes magical images possible, however, it is not in the least bit simple to create this kind of photo. Capturing a few usable frames is by far more difficult than any other sort of photographic work, these enchanting poses are not effortless, they are very demanding, even painful. The models who can move with ease in this subaqueous environment appearing calm and graceful, are truly exceptional. And of course taking the images is only the beginning, as with all of Nina’s creative work, she spends hours perfecting them with post production techniques. The end result is alluring, delicate, in some cases eerie, they all have a mysterious story to tell.
Building a team is something Nina does for every shoot. Availability often dictates who takes part in each of her creative shoots, but all of the makeup artists, hair stylists, and designers she has worked with over the years share her commitment to create something unique and exceptional, something wonderful they can be proud to be a part of.
