In today's behind the scenes video, I attempt to take some photographs in a pool without using an underwater housing. Instead, I'm going to be shooting a Nikon D850 DSLR camera inside a 10 gallon fish tank. This will allow me to capture images both underwater and above water at the same time while also showing the water line that separates the two halves of the image.



For lighting gear, I'm using the new Westcott FJ400 strobes with the Westcott 26" Rapidbox softbox. These two strobes are connected wirelessly with the Westcott FJ-X2m universal radio trigger. Because this flash system is both wireless and battery operated, I can easily get the lights in the exact location I need while also maintaining a safe working environment where water is involved.



Our model for the day is former Miss Puerto Rico Earth, Krystal Xamairy. In this shoot, she is wearing a Body Glove rashguard.



In the second half of this photography tutorial, I process and edit my favorite photo in ACDsee's Photo Studio Professional 2020. Using just a few sliders and adjustments, I'm able to take a raw file straight out of camera and turn it into a final polished image ready for publication.
