Underwater Bondage presents some very unique issues for the model, photographer and support staff.
Problems you will encounter and need to plan for:
- The obvious: all cameras and equipment must be waterproofed.
- Electricity (in any form) presents definite hazards to everyone involved with the shoot, whether in or out of the water.
- Light reflects and refracts differently underwater than in air.
- Air bubbles from the people in the water will flow in front of camera lenses.
- All positions are practiced (without bondage) beforehand so that everyone knows where the belong during the shoot.
- Use two or three photographers with at least five gaffers/support staff for speed and safety.
- Clothing that is long or "free flowing" presents potential for covering face and/or hindering rescue attempts, so pay a lot of attention to wardrobe.
- The model needs to have practiced holding and exhaling their breath for several hours before the shoot.
- The model (being unable to swim because she is bound) will need to have several people standing by to provide help if ANYTHING doesn't look absolutely perfect.
- Everyone on the set needs to know what safewords are, what the safeword is, and how they are used.
- Everyone on the set needs to know what the emergency plan is, the back-up plan, the plan to be used in case someone panics, and the next one hundred and eighty-three back-up plans. <g>
- Strangely enough, the person "in charge of the shoot" has to be the model.
- Plenty of warm liquids and blankets to deal with potential hypothermia.
