Underwater Pole photoshoot - Kay Penney Rpole

1) Have you ever done an underwater pole shoot before? 

Yes I do my first underwater shoot on the Pole Passion camp in Spain in 2011 

The water was freezing 

How did this latest shoot compare?

My first shoot was amazing because it was something that had never been achieved before and I love pioneering pole fitness in different situations 

My love of water 

My desire to be a synchronised swimmer and it was something that had never been done before was an added bonus  and that it was achieved with the portable RPOLE

This recent shoot was more organised 

There were more taking part and above all we had a professional camera man enabling a 90 minutes shoot rather than a 15 minute shoot 

2) Did you have specific moves planned for the shoot?

I had certain ideas but like with all

My shoots I tend to have more than required outfits and love the freestyle and in provision of the shoot 

3) Do you feel the Water made it harder or easier to achieve poses? Why?

The water was certainly a challenge but for me whilst the moves were easier to accomplish t was harder in the sense you had the challenge of controlled breathing going upside down and I opted to do it without goggles and a nose clip 

So more than often it went up

My nose making it extremely uncomfortable 

4) Do you feel happy with how the shoot went?

Yes thought I would have liked to have seen the pictures along the way and would have liked longer on the pole 

5) If you do another underwater photo shoot what would you change?

I would research underwater eyelash glue !! 

They fell off within the first 10 minutes

I would research underwater lipstick   

6) What preparation would you suggest for somebody looking to do an underwater photo shoot who hasn't done one before?

Chose dark colours 

Pale colours don't look as striking underwater

Go for flowing material 

Take your time 

Dare to be different 

Is there anything else you would like to add?

Id like to thank the photographer Radek Gora for his patience and bringing his underwater equipment to make the shoot such a success
