Atlanta Underwater Fantasy Photography: The 12 Astrological Signs
____________
When I moved to Georgia from Virginia Beach over 10 years ago, it didn’t take long for me to meet Jennifer Griffin of Jennifer Griffin Studios
We quickly bonded over our love of the arts, including scrapbooking, photography and throwing parties. While our children were small and we were busy homeschooling, we spent our spare time pouring into bettering our craft(s) and promising to one day collaborate. We collaborated on parties and events but we hadn’t had a chance to collaborate on a photography project.

Jennifer then met my friend Marcus Taylor with Marcus Taylor Photography
Marcus and I collaborated in the past on a few shoots. Marcus is a technical guru and photographer. He has taught me many things over the years.
Jennifer makes costumes. I’m a cosplayer/cosplay model. Marcus specializes in cosplay photography. We knew we had to do something!
Since underwater is pretty unique, we figured we’d do something underwater. Doing something underwater automatically meant that I was hiring my lead assistant Ross Muhlenberg with 8BitCosplay to not only assist with the shoot, but to also manage it. He also can 3D print anything my heart desires, so we knew that’d be helpful as well.

I had recently been taking a class/program with Tiffani Purdy and she had me diving deep into my astrology roots.
Rekindling the fun I had experienced with it in the past, I thought that the astrological signs were perfect to personify, create and cosplay! The team agreed!

While Jennifer started creating sketches in secret, I started to scout models/talent for the shoot. Everyone was so excited!
We had some models cancel VERY last minute, so Ross had to step in and model for us last minute.

Aries

It was awesome though because Jennifer designed the claws for Aries out of clay and Ross 3D printed them for her in bulk.
The serendipitous part was that Ross ended up wearing the Aries costume including his designs :)
