All About Underwater Photography Basics

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.

The first thing that you need to do is find a place that would give you the quality pictures that you want to achieve. Since you are still a beginner in underwater photography, then you are recommended to conduct a shoot in a swimming pool. Consider safe waters as your best friend from now on.

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, you have to determine the portion of the pool which is receiving most of the light coming from the sun. Once you find that spot, then you are already good to go. You can make some few clicks on your camera to test the location. If the results are satisfactory, then you are already free to explore on different angles.

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, try to know an acrobat move or two. Take note that you are not required to be a gymnast. You will just need to have more flexibility so that bending and fitting yourself into tight spots if you are in an underground cave will only be a piece of cake for you. So, start making those stretches from now on.

You will have to be more knowledgeable with bubbles as well. They may not occupy your pictures most of the time but they can be a great source of experiment. They can be a perfect addition to your images especially if your model is not capable of giving you the emotion that you wish to have in your project.

If you would be able to bring props into the shoot, then the better. You can use them to make your images look more realistic. They would also add color and interest into your creations so that other people would have no choice but to give them the time of the day.

Overall, keep practicing. This may be a new arena for you but that does not mean that you would never be able to find your way through it. You would just have to get used to those waves everyday.
