*A Patron requested more of this model, so dug into my archives to see if I had any shoots I had never posted!
In 2014, a month after the first time I met and worked with model Cacia Zoo in NYC, she came out to LA for a work trip. We made a plan to go to Death Valley together as she had never been there before, and I had a single shot in mind that I wanted to make (which, actually, I have never posted here in my Patreon, but I should fix that! I have posted many other images from the Death Valley trip though), but before that we also scheduled a pool shoot in town as I needed a model for a some products shots I had been asked to make for a friend's bag company, Rewilder.
Cacia had never done an underwater shoot, and while she was a great swimmer (I think she was even on the swim team in high school back in Taipei if I remember correctly), she wasn't as great at sinking, and had never tried to model underwater. I was also not used to trying to shoot product underwater (I have tried a couple more times since and each has been a fail, to my mind). We set our expectations accordingly and just set out to have fun - its hard not to have fun with Cacia swimming around naked in front of you, so I had nothing to complain about. That being said, these are certainly far from the best images we ever made together, and I think the complications of it being a product shoot as well really limited our time in making beautiful images of Cacia alone. So I have never really posted these images and kind of forgot about them (I am not even sure Cacia has seen all of these).
