“Such an amazing experience that I’d love to repeat sometime!” 

 

UNDERWATER PHOTOGRAPHER BRETT STANLEY HAS TEAMED UP WITH WORLD FAMOUS MERMAID, ACTIVIST, AND PROFESSIONAL UNDERWATER MODEL HANNAH MERMAID, TO BRING YOU AN UNDERWATER WORKSHOP LIKE NO OTHER.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

These workshops are not just for mermaids, they’re perfect for anyone wanting to learn how to model underwater, regardless of the outfit (Tail, dress, bikini, 3-piece suit, you get the idea!). All experience levels are welcome, from the beginning first timer to long time merfolk, there’s always something to learn and Hannah has over 15 years of underwater experience (she made her first tail at 9!). So grab your tail, or an amazing dress, and we will show you how look magnificent in the crystal clear waters of The Florida Springs!

Hannah will guide you through how to move, how to hold your breath, how to look amazing, and most importantly how to stay safe. She will be with you every step of the way, giving you advice on the best angles and what’s going to look good on camera. Session includes:

• Yoga/stretching routine designed to allow better oxygen flow through the body and lungs.
• Deep breathing and free diving breath hold techniques to increase breath hold capabilities.
• Tips and pointers on how to swim like a mermaid most effectively
• Tips and tricks on tail making
• Fine tuning body movements, poses and tricks for underwater dance and swimming.

Then Brett will take you through the photoshoot process, directing you and making sure you’re looking your very best! His relaxed style will put you at ease and allow you to simply enjoy the dreamlike feeling of being underwater.

“It was my first time doing anything of this sort, and the mermaid workshop with Brett and Hannah was very fun and informative.”
