Frequently Asked Questions for Unique Underwater Cenote Photoshoot with Flying Dress Option

Question 1

Where are you based?

Accepted Answer

I shoot in a cenote between Playa del Carmen and Tulum

Question 2

Do I need to know how to swim?

Accepted Answer

No, you don’t. Although a good comfort level in the water will be helpful, there is no actual swimming involved in the underwater photoshoot.

My assistants will tow you around the cenote with a floating ring. We shoot either in shallow water or somewhere close to a rock that you can hold onto.

I will always be just a few feet away from you, and my assistants will be right beside us, ready to intervene at the first sign of discomfort.

Question 3

How long do I need to hold my breath?

Accepted Answer

Not very long, we only need a few seconds to capture a good photo.
We’ll make sure you stay within your breath-hold comfort zone, so it will be easy to relax and look your best :)

Question 4

What about the outfit I am going to wear?

Accepted Answer

I recommend long and flowy dresses and skirts, preferably solid and bright colors. I have dresses, fabrics and some props that you can use. If you have something specific in mind, we can definitely chat about it further.

Just make sure you also bring a swimsuit or a bikini you’d be comfortable wearing.

Question 5

Do I have to open my eyes underwater?

Accepted Answer

It’s entirely up to you.
Keeping the eyes closed gives a calm and dreamy look to the image. Keeping the eyes open, as long as the gaze is soft, will look great too.

If you are unsure and would like to try to open your eyes for the first time underwater, the cenote is the perfect place to try. It is filled with fresh rainwater, which is very gentle on your eyes.

Question 6

What about contact lenses?

Accepted Answer

I recommend you remove them for the duration of the shoot.
If you open your eyes underwater with the contacts on, they might move around and you could lose them. But If you decide to wear them anyway, you can either keep your eyes closed or bring spare contacts in case they fall out.

Question 7

Do I have to dive deep underneath the surface?

Accepted Answer

Nope, a few inches below the surface is enough! It is the best depth for the shoot, where I can capture your mirror-like reflection off the surface.

Question 8

Do you photoshop the images?

Accepted Answer

Yes and no.
The underwater photos require a great amount of post-processing work. My edits are done to bring out more beauty from the photos by working with the textures, colors, and lighting. I will not do any heavy alterations that will modify the shape of your body because I firmly believe all bodies and their shapes are most beautiful the way they are. I want to have you wowing about an image of yourself that is 100% true to your beauty.
