About the event
Are you looking at taking your camera underwater and don't know where to start?
Discover the fascinating world of underwater photography in this immersive online workshop. Learn how to capture stunning images of marine life and underwater landscapes. I will introduce some technical skills and focus on the equipment required for this unique form of photography. Explore the creative possibilities and unleash your inner artist beneath the waves.
What body, lens, housings, dome, lights, strobes, depth rating..... All these decisions (and costs) can make getting into underwater photography seem quite scary. I will bring some gear along with me so you can get hands on with housings, strobes, lights, etc.
After the introduction we will dive deeper into skills, settings, exposure for still photography and videography.
This session should have something for everyone :-)
