Introduction to Underwater Photography
Composition underwater
To take beautiful underwater photos, you need more than a great subject and great lighting: you also need to pay attention to how the main subject and other elements are laid-out within the frame, and this is called composition. In this lesson, you will learn the 10 composition rules which are most relevant for underwater photography. Â
Indeed, the famous composition rules don’t apply the same way for underwater photography (if applicable at all). For example, unless you’re a wreck diver or doing pool photography, you will not have to worry about straight lines in your composition.
To learn how to achieve a good composition underwater, take this lesson where I will cover:
- What a “good composition” means, why it can make your photography stand-out.
- The 10 rules which matter most for underwater photography. Each rule will be illustrated with underwater photos.
- Bending the rules: these rules are rather guideline and a photo does not have to tick all of them to be successful. Again, you will see examples of underwater photos where I will pinpoint the rules which have been broken… and explain why this is totally fine 🙂
