Returning dwelling, she realised her hair had turned coarse and brittle from the silica within the swimming pools. “When you ever go to, use hair conditioner! Or a rubbish bag!” she warns.
Whereas she anticipated the photographs she took of the bag-wearing bathers to be her favourites, it was really this one which got here out finest. The six Icelandic teenage boys had been laughing, chatting and consuming ice-cold slushies in 38C water in a scene that later reminded her of Leonardo da Vinci’s The Final Supper. “I studied artwork after I was youthful. I like my pictures to have a component of confusion; are they a photograph or a portray?” Chesnel says.
She was travelling together with her Nikon D500 however, involved about damaging it within the water, she wrapped her iPhone in plastic as a substitute. She later did small edits to the picture utilizing the Snapseed app. “It was -10C within the air, however almost 40C within the water, and foggy, so all I wanted to do was modify the sunshine and brightness a bit.”
