What you will get

A dreamy hidden sea cave glowing with bioluminescent light in your colour, a mermaid with a shimmering tail rising slowly and looking toward the camera, ripples spreading, glowing specks in the air, and the camera gliding over the surface before dipping underwater.

Why it works

The glow carries this scene, so the prompt lights everything from the water: bioluminescence lights the mermaid from below, plankton sparkles in the air and ripples carry the light outward. A slow rise and a look toward the camera gives a moment of connection. The dip below the surface shows her world from inside, and the split waterline shot in the tip is the classic way to make that feel magical.

Common mistake

The tail looks like a cloth costume.

Fix: Ask for fine scales catching the glow and a fin that moves slowly through the water.

Also watch for
  • The dip under the surface is jerky. As the tip says, use a half-above, half-below shot with the waterline across the middle of the frame.
  • The cave is too dark to see her face. Ask for brighter glowing water lighting her from below and specks of light near her face.
Try a variation: sunset cove

Move her outside the cave onto a rock at sunset, with the glowing cave entrance behind and waves washing around the tail.
