Orlando Corporate Advertising Editorial Portrait Video Photographer: Steve Williams shoots Mermaid

I recently photographed Mermaid Melissa (http://www.mermaidmelissa.com) underwater at Crystal River and Silver Springs, FL. Melissa is as real as Mermaids get, and this is her full-time business. She is incredibly graceful underwater and can hold her breath for over four minutes.
At Crystal River we were hoping to get a Manatee encounter with Melissa, but the one mom and calf there just kept rubbing against a pole and then me!

She posed for photos with kids before our shoot...they love her!
