About Complete Underwater Photography Guide for Beginners - 2018
4 years ago I bought my first compact camera and took it diving. Today I've got thousands of followers on social media, I have won or placed in a few underwater photo contests and I have been recommended in the world's largest online scuba community as someone to watch. I'm not a professional photographer, I'm just a part-time diver with a regular job who loves to share what I see in the ocean with others. Unlike all the pro's out there my journey is fresh in my mind and I know how frustrating it can be trying to learn from people who are so advanced that they have forgotten what it was like to be a beginner. You can get award-winning footage from a Go Pro or a compact camera - I'll show you how. If you are looking to upgrade to a mirrorless or DSLR setup - I remember how frustrating it was trying to get my head around all the accessories I would need to buy, so I will walk you through it. Let me show you what I wish someone had shown me. I guarantee that your next dive or snorkelling trip will yield you much better results. This course is a journey - our journey. It's content is living and I'll be providing monthly updates with more information as I respond to feedback and I continue to learn and explore.
