TALES OF THE TIDES
SATURDAY AUGUST 23rd 2025



DIVE INTO A MERMAID REALM
A Collaboration with Shutter Island
Set along the scenic shores of Long Island, this mermaid-inspired photoshoot welcomes both models and photographers to dive into a world of collaborative creation. With rocky coasts, crashing waves, and natural light as your backdrop, the setting evokes the untamed magic of the sea. Draw inspiration from oceanic folklore - mermaids basking on sunlit stones, sirens calling from the mist, and tide-born spirits emerging from the deep.
