OUR WHY?
"FEMININITY IS NOT ONLY POWERFUL BUT PROFOUNDLY BEAUTIFUL "
Femininity is a force of nature, an untamed realm of strength, grace, and depth waiting to be discovered within every woman. At Memoirs of a Muse, we have long been captivated by the essence of the feminine spirit and the boundless potential it holds.
Water, with its fluidity and intuition, serves as a timeless symbol of femininity, gently guiding women to reconnect with their inherent essence. Just as water flows effortlessly, so too does the feminine spirit, navigating life's twists and turns with grace and resilience.
Our mission is simple yet profound: Through the Merlesque Experience, our mission is not only to capture the essence of who you are in breathtaking fine-art portraits but also to invite you to slowly soften to your feminine, embrace the magic that unfolds when you tap into your inner depths and unleash your true potential. These memories will be reminders of the incredible gift that lies within you and inspire you to embrace it fully.

WHY CHOOSE US?
You are here today because our art has sparked novelty and excitement in you. Maybe you finally find a studio that speaks your language: unique, timeless, artistic and has the wow factor. As you consider our services, we believe it's important to understand the complex nature of our work. We hope it will help you appreciate the intricacies that go into creating stunning underwater portraits.
- FROM LAND TO LIQUID MUSE:
We have mastered the remarkable ability to transform ordinary individuals (no modelling experience, non-swimmers) into an underwater muse within the span of a 2 hrs photoshoot.
- TURNING SECONDS INTO ARTISTRY:
Underwater photography is defined by its time constraints, where each submersion lasts only a few precious seconds. We possess the skill for turning these brief submersions into stunning artistry.
- POSE GUIDANCE:
Posing underwater can be challenging. We are experts in guiding our muses to achieve grace and elegance beneath the waves.
- TRANSCENDING TRADITIONAL TO EXPERTISE:
Underwater portrait photography demands a unique skill set that marries technical mastery with aquatic finesse. We possess a deep understanding of underwater dynamics, buoyancy control, and communication in a submerged world. 15 years of experience!!!
- SPECIALISED GEAR:
Creating breathtaking underwater portraits relies on specialized equipment, waterproof camera housings, underwater strobes, and specialised lenses. We use state-of-the-art equipment to capture your portraits.
VISUAL UNDERSTANDING
- POST-PROCESSING :
We're not a commercial studio driven by deadlines and quotas. We're artisans devoted to our craft. Each portrait is a labour of love - a testament to our dedication and passion. Being Highly Sensitive Persons (HSP), we bring an additional layer of depth and sensitivity to our work, allowing us to connect on a profound level with each photo. We listen to the whispers of each portrait, deciphering its unique language. It's a process of discovery, of uncovering the soul within.
