Em Breve!

So as the competition got cancelled an offer came that would bring together my two passions: Freediving and modeling. I was put in option for a campaign for a Portuguese Mineral Water to be filmed in Romania. And so I flew to Romania to film for Agua das Pedras. The crew was exceptionally professional, and everyone was really nice. Day1. After rehearsal I had a try of my beautiful extra long (over6 meters!) dress. Thermostat showed 26 degrees, which of course prove to be not enough after a couple of minutes of been immersed. A bar was constructed inside a green swimming pool (yes, I was really worried about my eyesight when I first saw it!) to imitate what was another bar that was built in an antique house. The task was not easy. In every breath to be taken in the surface, the weight of the dress would pull me back down. Besides that I had to take extra care not to hit my head in the huge lamps that where just hanging a few centimeters above the surface. But for me the fact of being underwater meant I didn’t have to represent at all. It was like a dream where I tried to show trough a mix of movements what I really feel while underwater. It whas for me the closer I got to be a mermaid.
Everyone was pleased and the results are here to be seen. :)
