Every day is special but TODAY I have decided to start my FRDK BLOG! A moment of enjoyment. It can be anything from a smile to a new car. A cool picture or a grand child.\u00a0Then in that moment of time and space, you see and feel, how much the world really matters.<\/p>\n Please share!<\/p>\n I have a gift for you.\u00a0Here in my little salon in Playa del Ingl\u00e9s I have always tried to get the best stuff for my guests.Also I am not always happy with the pictures that I get from the firms that sell shampoo.\u00a0Therefore I find it important to make my own pictures. I have the idea, I do the make up and the styling. With the help of my wonderful colleagues, we all work our magic and it all comes together into the new picture going onto the salon wall.\u00a0From the depths of my dark twisted fantasy, born in the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, living in the warm waters off the Amadores Beach in Gran Canary.<\/p>\n I present to you: \u00a0 Coralia the Mermaid<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Born to please and inspire you we are very proud to bring you Coralia the Mermaid, she will allure you to partake in her fantasy. Seduce you into her fluid world of beauty and surprise, where nothing is forbidden and anything can happened. Let yourself go, hear her song, immerse yourself into the peace of mind that she is granting you.<\/p>\n \n<\/blockquote>\n The Making Of-<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong>The crew:<\/em><\/p>\n Model Coralia\u00a0– Angela Faryes<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Photographer – Rolf Krebs<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Hairdresser\/ Makeup artist – Tamas Szigeti<\/a> Hairdresser\/ Makeup artist\/ concept –Frederick Cleverly<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Location – Amadores Beach<\/a>, Gran Canary<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Restaurant –\u00a0Samsara<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Underwater photography is tricky business. <\/strong><\/p>\n All that floating sensation comes with a price.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Fortunately Rolf the photographer has done a lot before and both Angela and he are used to scuba diving.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Everything was special, the hair the make up, the clothes, the model, the photographer -you name it.<\/p>\n Although constantly gasping for air we managed to find that moment of serenity, that moment when time stands still.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Angela Faryes also does photography and is a model and a scuba diver. The only person near here that could do the job! As she knows what I was looking for she only had to do it, easier said than done.<\/p>\n \n<\/blockquote>\n Also at the cost of her precious oxygen she managed to pull it off. Angela lives here and does photo shoots <\/a>regularly with me. Both in front and behind. If you are interested in a (overwater) mermaid shoot, take a look at her website<\/a> and facebook<\/a>. She will transform you! <\/p>\n Tamas Szigeti was the best colleague you could have. We went to Madrid to buy our supplies at Burlesque<\/a> professional theatre supplies shop together.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n There we found a very professional shop with some really helpful guys that love there work as much as we do ours. \u00a05 bags we brought back to our island in the sun.<\/p>\n We did one test shoot to see how the make up looked under water and what the hair looked like.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n All our work was washed off by the sea in only 40 minutes. We had to fortify the hair and make a lot more to get the shots we wanted. Working without oxygen is not like any other shoot.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n On the day we did what we could with multiple layers of make up and tons of glue, knowing all to well that there is no force stronger than mother nature.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n But as you know, only dead fish swim with the currant so we had to fight for what we wanted.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0When Angela went down and transformed into Coralia -we prayed for the magic.<\/p>\n This day was much better, there are so many variables shooting under water.<\/p>\n \u00a0Is the sea clear, what color is it today? Will it get choppy? How long will the make up work?<\/em><\/p>\n Angela was well warmed up, Rolf had his equipment tuned in and we had done what was possible.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n This time we got it!<\/p>\n \u00a0The little Mermaid<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0After that it was shower time, glue remover and tons of conditioner.<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0We met up again at the cool Samsara<\/a> restaurant to celebrate, gin and tonics, champagne and a menu full of fish.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n![\"bubbles](\"http:\/\/frederickcleverly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/top-tail-right.png\")
<\/a>\u00a0You are very important to us -YOU are very important to me. Because you see, YOU and ME together make this world and what we think actually means more than one can imagine. \u00a0Sometimes the world is so hectic and chaotic that you think nothing really matters, then it hits you.<\/p>\n\n

<\/a>Rolf Krebs comes from Germany, he flew in to do this shoot and work his magic. Rolf normally does underwater and high octane landscape pictures. He also loves women and is happy to focus on one. You could say it makes him stop breathing for a moment.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n\n

Tom was the captain of the boat on the surface but was utterly helpless to do any alterations\u00a0to the styling as everything of course -was wet.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
