Blue-Tinged Siren Shoots

Michael David Adams Injects Some Mystical Mystery into His Images

— October 24, 2011 — Fashion
Although photography post-production is no stranger to honing in on one color, Michael David Adams' watery photo shoot shows a contemporary way of making this technique look not only good, but stylish as well. In an age where retro photo techniques are all the rage again thanks to programs like Instagram, Michael David Adams shows us would-be photographers how it is done.

A romantically secluded and semi-submerged photo series, Michael David Adams overlays the images with a blue tinge that really makes it more mystical and mysterious. It is almost as if this sea siren is a magical mermaid who has just rescued a shipwrecked prince. By introducing this tinge, the series stands out beautifully from all the other beach/Mediterranean shoots out there.
