We were photographing a special project for a camp in New Hampshire that often pits cabin against cabin and the winner decides the consequences for its less fortunate opponent. One particular girls cabin had to bear the consequences by jumping into the lake as soon as they got up the next morning wearing whatever they wore when they went to bed.
It was just one of those special moments when one has to get up early and wait for the action to begin. Then it's just click, click, click, as the kids jump into the water hand-in-hand. Stack the images and add some special effects in Photoshop and we have a visual story about peer pressure.
While, there are a lot of subliminal messages in this picture, most important is that once one teen takes the plunge, all their friends seem to follow for fear of bearing the shame of being left out.
Think about it.
