So.. what’s a “Tank Session”?
Underwater portraits. Real people. Fantastical results.
If you’ve seen photos from one of our Tank Sessions and thought, "Wait — was that real?" the answer is yes. Very real. Just not your everyday modeling experience.
Tank Sessions are photo shoots held in a custom-built water tank — usually used by professional mermaids — but these sessions are for anyone who wants to explore something extraordinary. There’s no CGI. No green screens. Just water, fabric, light, and a little gravity-defying magic.
Whether you're a dancer, a cosplayer, a mermaid at heart, or just someone curious to try something wildly different, Tank Sessions are all about movement, emotion, and transformation.
Upcoming Session Dates
We’ve got a Tank Session weekend coming up July 26–27 in York, PA, and we’re now booking for those limited slots. We're also working on a second session at the end of August — more details coming soon, but it's never too early to reach out if you're interested.
These are rare opportunities — there aren’t many people out there offering access to a mermaid tank for photo sessions, and the logistics mean they happen only a few times a year. If this is something you’ve always wanted to try, don’t wait.
Do I have to be a mermaid?
Not at all! Professional mermaids are absolutely welcome (and it's a great time to refresh your promo images), but this is not a professionals only shoot.
We’ve created incredible images in flowing dresses, sheer fabrics, cosplay outfits (our Alice in Wonderland was simply amazing!), and even minimalist or implied nude looks. The water adds a dreamy, weightless quality that elevates just about anything.
You do not need to fit into a mold — just bring your imagination.
What’s the experience like?
These sessions are intense, but in the best way. We’ll guide you through every step:
What to wear (flowy works best!)
How to prepare
What to expect from the water
How to pose and move underwater
How to breathe, hold your body, and express through motion
You do not need to be an expert swimmer — but basic comfort in water is important. You’ll never be in more than four feet of water, and we prioritize your safety at all times. If you can hold your breath for around 10 seconds, take direction, and stay calm underwater, we can create something amazing together.
Why try a Tank Session?
The images are like nothing else — bold, surreal, and unforgettable
The experience is thrilling — most people walk away feeling powerful, energized, and accomplished
It’s a unique chance to see yourself in a way you’ve never seen before
Curious? Nervous? Ready?
Let’s talk. Spots are limited and they go fast. If the idea even slightly sparks something in you, reach out — we’ll figure out together if this is the right shoot for you.
