Thank you for your interest and observations about how few of my images show models with wet hair. There are two main reasons for this;
In the case of outdoor location shoots, the models are often understandably not happy to put their faces and hair in lakes and rivers as the water can’t be guaranteed to be clean, although I do take advice about water quality prior to the shoot – e’g. toxins and algae which can cause skin irritation. Also, there are few opportunities for models to dry their hair when away from a power supply.
From a photographer’s point, I often get models to wear more than one outfit on a wet shoot – sometimes several dresses. I like to start off each scenario with the model completely dry and to get progressively wet. If her hair is already wet from a previous set, then that can be a problem. Wet hair also tends to make the fresh new dry dress wet when she puts it on. That is why I ask the models to dry themselves thoroughly after taking off soaking wet clothes before putting on dry ones. That is a big problem with already wet bras as these soon make the next dry dress damp, as in the case of this one of Charlotte who has dark damp patches across her breasts before she went anywhere near the water: http://www.flickr.com/photos/69348459@N08/9257975482/in/set-72157634583040376
I do take images of models in wet clothes and with wet hair. Many of these are in their baths and showers at home or under a wetset shower in a studio. Hair-flick shots taken in the lake always involve wet hair (obviousl0 and I have done many of those.

In reply to Message (58687.1.1) Accurate, considering the charter of this forum.
By RoscoeBC - Fri 02/08/13 09:30:29 GMT I believe this forum is about wet clothes, not wet hair, please correct me if I'm wrong. In that context, I believe Bob's comment was entirely correct. Her dress was entirely soaked, as were her shoes and stockings :). I'd like to thank Bob and Joanne for this contribution (as well as thanking Bob for all of his other work). If this post was to the wet hair section of the Styx wetlook forum, I believe you would have a point. |
