Discover the pleasures of underwater photography. This wonderful activity is becoming more and more popular every day due to the inexpensive technology required. A very simple system plus the use of correct knowledge and technique will allow you to achieve outstanding results. The Intro to Underwater Photography is a course designed for either those who have never shot a camera on land nor underwater and also for those who have already experienced some shooting, but still struggle to squeeze all the potential of their cameras.

The course is divided into 3 days. On the first day we will meet during the morning and have a theoretical lesson. After that we will perform 1 long and shallow shore dive in which we will practice all the skills and techniques learned that day. During this first dive we will specially fine tune your buoyancy, position, kicking… these will have huge impact on your photography game! It’s highly important to not rush into using lots of equipment, you do no want to get saturated by those. To start with you will be shooting with ambient light, so you can understand how that works first while focusing all your attention on subject approach and composition. On the second day we will perform two more shore dives following the same dynamics. We might add artificial lighting to your system, meaning that you might be shooting with strobes. As you may already know, water absorbs color really fast, leaving you with blue-ish pictures. Once you you understand ambient light, adding artificial light will be really helpful to bring back all those colors! After the 2 shore dives we will go back to the Humarine HQ and work on some of the photographs taken using Lightroom. On the third and last day we will perform 2 boat dives. Again, after the dives we will go back to Humarine HQ and work on some more photographs, this time adding Photoshop to your working process.

The objective is to make of you a competent underwater photographer with a strong base of good habits. At all moments your photo pro instructor will be present, allowing you to freely explore the underwater photography world and at the same time guiding you if needed or suggesting settings/techniques that will enhance your images.
