This is a video we got recorded from this beauty shot:
Want to explain what was going on:
First we thought to shoot a completely separate shots of the model and a splash and combine them into one composition in post. But when started, we have decided to do all in one shot: the model and the splash. To see how it worked, watch the video:-)
Below is what use to be 40+ minute photoshot, compressed in 11min.
The post production part was quite extensive, as we formed a water ball from the pieces you see below.

Great Effort for the nice Shot.
Did anyone else notice that one of the photos (shown at approx. 9:52m into vid), has a face-like image in the water that closely resembles the photographer? See side by side…

BTW, I see Donald Duck in that splash.
