Freedive Photography

Are you more into diving freely with no equipment and the purest combination of just you, your camera and the ocean? Freedive photography is VERY different from scuba photography. We are obviously diving on a single breath, so our time is very much limited. The techniques used are also very different. This course can be either focused on shooting marine life or shooting humarines. Both types of photography will require similar freediving skills, however will be performed differently. Marine life can be shot on a fish eye or a macro lens, whereas humarines should be shot on a rectilinear lens. If you are all for marine life, well great! The critters will be less scared because freedive is totally bubble free and silent. Are you keen to shoot models? Well fantastic! Through the course you will learn how to create a concept and shoot it artistically. You will also learn breath up techniques, how to free dive safely and move efficiently underwater.

During the very first day we will go through an academic session and during the afternoon we will perform a freedive photo session shooting mainly marine life. On the second day we will have a underwater photo session shooting a humarine. At all moments your photo pro instructor will be guiding you, both on land and underwater.
