Description
Now, where do we start describing this photo.First we want to let you know that no fish were harmed making this photo! They met eachother in this little bowl and became good friends from the very start. We made sure they had everything they needed (never pampered our models that much). After the photoshoot they were moved to a nice big fishtank where they have plenty of room and lots of plants to play with. I think they're gonna have babies soon
.Second, this is NOT a photomanipulation, we turned it into black and white and tweaked a bit to get it to look right, but that's it. This is the result of a six-hour-long photoshoot, taking hundreds of pictures to get just one right. We must tell you, fish aren't the easiest models to work with, imagine having two around!
We've entered this photo to the 'Opposites Contest' at #Things-Not-Seen . We thought a black and white fish might be interesting opposites. As you can see from the photo: opposites attract.
Well, we don't want to give away all of our thoughts on this one, let us know what you think.

Wow! This is truly magnificent! I applaud you on the wonderful concept/idea, the dedication (six hours!), and final, beautiful product. It's really eye-catching and certainly gives you a lot to think about.~
Although I just realized that you submitted this quite a while ago, it is still very popular and retains it's beauty until now. ^^
Have a wonderful day!

I Love How This Picture Has A Light Water And A Dark Water Kinda Reminds Me Of A Heaven And Hell
For Some Reason

Hmm, but why does the white fish go to hell and the black fish to heaven?

This is beautiful, it reminds me of yin and yang

Thanks, that was a bit what we were looking for. The balance of blacks and whites. First we wanted it to look even more like yin and yang, but the fishes wouldn't swim at the right place at the same time

Was the misspelling of poison purposeful? Lovely photo, by the way.

Yep, 'Poisson' is the French word for Fish. Though they also know 'poison' (poison) and 'boisson' (drink/wine). So of course our favourite saying in French is 'Poisson sans boisson? C'est poison!' (Fish without wine? That's poison!)

Poisson is fish in French, so there's a nifty double meaning there.

That's beautiful. I love the feel and the contrast (which, obviously, is the point.) And those fish are so cute c: Little baby fishies!!

Thanks! And these cute little fishies got even littler babybaby fishes and now we have dozens of them

this is absolutely gorgeous. it looks like analogue, but i'm guessing its digital.... i think this would be too much work for film. lends itself nicely to it though. it has that wonderfully soft feeling to it that film has.
so impressive.

When this got featured as a DD, we looked at it again and thought 'Hmm, this would have been even better had it been analogue'. It would have cost a lot of film I'm afraid, we litterally took about 200 photos.

Very beautiful photo. And six hours? Damn. I understand how hard they are to work with, though. Thanks for caring about their wellbeing; most people don't care about fish since they're so "expendable." Well-deserved DD!

Haha, thank you very kindly! We always put our models through some crazy stuff during shoots, but with these little guys we were extra careful.

Well, we have the fishes to thank for that
