“Fiji Mermaid” – Latest Cheryl Walsh collaboration

A few weeks back, Mather was able to squeeze in one final (and VERY cold!) underwater photoshoot with the masterful Cheryl Walsh. This time, Mather paid homage to her home state (and also to Guillermo Del Toro and his latest movie The Shape of Water) by embodying an original take on the legendary Fiji Mermaid “genuine fake” made famous by P.T. Barnum. Cheryl Walsh is currently running a Kickstarter campaign for photo prints, jewelry and more- if you’d like a print of one of these images, be sure to head over to her Instagram for a direct link to the campaign before it ends!
