Encounter

by Melissa Milton

This one depicts the concept of two very different magical beings - an elf princess and a winged fairy - encountering one another for the very first time, and choosing friendship over fear.  In real life, these two underwater models are very close friends and actually hire out as underwater mermaids for events! So they were very comfortable interacting with one another underwater. The idea of one swimming up to the other and them touching the palms of their hands was their idea. I felt it created a very lovely visual moment.
