Legend tells of a special breed of creature—half woman, half fish—that was awe-inspiringly beautiful. While those creatures were more fantasy than reality, photographer Mark Anderson has found his own breed of mermaid, right on the streets of Hollywood.
True, he may have needed the help of some costuming, props, and a generous dose of Photoshop in order to find them—but we're nonetheless mesmerized by his transformation of some of Hollywood's loveliest ladies into gorgeous, fantastical, and nearly topless creatures of the sea. Even more mesmerizing? The photos are available as a free app for iPad and iPhone...in case you happen to be in the mood for hunting mermaids yourself.
