Das Boot - the Submarine Shoot

Das Boot is a German television series which follows the fictional experiences of U-Boat submarine crews in World War II. I watched it a couple of years ago & I loved it.

Throughout the series there’s some tremendous underwater footage of U-Boats in action which, of course, has to be model boats. I thought the scenes were excellent & I wondered if I could create my own composite U-Boat image. After all I have lots of underwater seascapes already in my archives, all I needed was the U-Boat… and that was my inspiration to seek out a model submarine club & set up this shoot.
