Short Introductory To Underwater Photography

By Rosella Campbell


If you have always wanted to be involved in this art, then now is the time for you to take those necessary baby steps. However, you need to perform them one by one. By doing so, you can be certain of a smooth flow in your operation and that will lead you to wrap up the fun or professional shoot in no time.

First of all, you have to determine where the shoot is going to take place. If you have your own swimming pool at home, then you are definitely free to conduct your underwater photography in there. You will not be required to pay any fee and there will be no limit in the number of models that can come to your property.

Second, you have to pay attention to the light that you would be getting. If you are going to rely on natural light, then you are advised to take pictures on a sunny day especially in the afternoon. This would give you all the light that you need to create scenes that would put anybody in awe.

Third, try your best to stay out of the water. This may sound like a very ironic step but the best effects are actually available in that kind of set up. So, if you have no business of getting all wet and sticky, then make use of what you have. Explore on the beams being given by the sun for you to increase your versatility at the same time.

Also, you need to have a new perspective when it comes to close proximity. This feature may not be that cool when you are on land but you will certainly be amazed of the quality of the pictures that it can give to you when you are on water. The effects are completely different from each other that you will be glad that you gave it a try.

Moreover, be very flexible. You would never be called the best photographer in your town if you are not willing to extend some of your body parts just to get the best angle for the picture. If you have to perform some acrobat moves, then so be it. There is nothing that you cannot achieve as long as you work hard for it.

On the other hand, practice making bubbles. If you have not noticed yet, these things look completely adorable whether you are in land or in water. Thus, try to create them naturally as much as possible. Also, be able to implement moderation at the same time so that your pictures would not look distorted in any way.

If you are planning to bring decorations, then let no one stop you from doing that task. These things will certainly be beneficial for you. However, see to it that they will not be too flashy in front of the camera.

Overall, never give up on this interesting kind of photography. It may be complicated at times but you can definitely manage. You will end up victorious. You will just have to believe in that.
