In this video I go back to how my YouTube channel started 5 years and create dramatic portraits by shooting through water and using off camera flash and MagMod.

Shooting through water creates beatiful foreground bokeh, which I love, and by adding gels we can make that water different colours, which makes for incredible creative portraits.

That original video did really well for me and really kickstarted my channel and my love for making videos, so it was really nice to revisit a similar idea - and see if I could better it!

As you will see in the video, I used 4 lights (Godox AD200s and Godox V860III speedlights) to create the images in the video, and took the shots on my Sony A9II with my Sony 50mm GM f1.2, Sigma 135mm f1.8, Sony 85mm f1.8 and Sony 35mm f1.8 lenses.

A massive thank you to Rebecca for modelling, to Helen for filming and to all the staff at Standon Hall in Stafforshire for letting me shoot at their stunning venue.
