Wetlook World Forum

I agree partly with the comments about lighting, but not completely. Backlight CAN be very beautiful, in rare occasions. I like this one, of myself, for example. (Warning: MALE subject)

I would advice, since you have a digital camera and there is no waste of film, to take LOTS of pictures and sort them out at home.

For example: During my vacation I took 200 pictures of rockformations and threw away 180 of those! Don't be afraid to throw away. Many artists (and many wetlookproducers) have made that mistake already.

My main comment (and this is my highly personal taste): I would ask her to do less posing and more enjoying. If she really likes the feeling of wet clothes and allows herself to enjoy that, it will show in the pictures. You might be able to "trick" her into that: At some point, tell her you have enough pictures and will take a break, so she can enjoy herself for a while. Now hide your camera and start taking candid pictures. I know a professional photographer that used that trick often, with great results.

He once told me how he made pictures of groups, at weddings or receptions. He used very sensitive film, so he had no need of a flash, yet he brought the flash anyway. He flashed, then gave the group a few seconds to relax... and THEN took the picture, without flash!

I don't think you need to get another photographer, you're doing fine by yourself.
