Need help deciding?
- The Introduction Course is great for beginners in underwater photography. It is well suited to experienced land-photographers too, with a lesson that helps them grasp the key differences between underwater and “normal” photography. Yes, we are worlds apart 🙂
- The Lighting Course will benefit beginners and advanced underwater photographers alike, starting with the theory of how light travels through and gets affected by the water, and the role of artificial lights. The course delves into the merits of using flash vs video lights, 1 flash vs 2 flashes, and importantly covers how to position these light sources to produce clearer pictures, free of backscatter (the floating bright spots). This fundational course will elevate the student’s understanding of underwater lighting, enabling them to move away from the mere “Fish identification” shot, and craft more artistic imagery.
- A Club Membership gives the student access to 40 lessons, covering over 16 hours of packed video-based tuition. This comprehensive curriculum will help them gain mastery of their equipment, of the photographic techniques and artistic considerations behind various genres of underwater photography. Receiving a constructive, articulate feedback on one’s photo is another great way to progress, and Club Members can exchange photo critiques in the safe and caring environment provided by our Club Forums. Last but not least, Members can access all our Monthly events for free, which normally retail for AU$ 59, when open to guest registrations.
