Trashing her dress

Greetings,

I’d always been fascinated with the Trash the Dress (TTD) (http://www.trashthedress.com/) concept over in the US.

Trash the dress refers to photographs that contrasts elegant clothing with an environment in which it is completely out of place. It is generally shot in the style of glossy beauty and glamour photography. – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trash_the_dress

So, when Joelle told me, “let’s trash it!” – my mind went numb. Should I trash the dress completely or don’t go overboard with it?

It was decided two weeks ago during the session (by the couple and I) to go underwater.

Now, I don’t have an underwater casing for my D300 so i bought an Olympus 1030SW just for this session.

We did the session at the Condo Pool where Joelle & Richard stayed.

Like a mermaid huh?

Anyway, this was done at the very end of the session. Earlier we went to the KL Heritage Hotel for a Pre Wedding session.

Now, come to think of it, I want to do more TTD session!

So, am looking to work with any designers who feels like that their creation can take the beatings from 1. the photographer and 2. the model/bride. Up for the challenge?
