Bro how to became a underwater photography
To excel in underwater photography, you should start by getting comfortable with diving-this is crucial for safety and ease when you're multitasking underwater with camera gear. If you’re not already familiar with the basics of photography like exposure, composition, and lighting, picking up these skills will be a huge advantage. You'll need specialized equipment too, like a reliable underwater camera and housing to protect it. It's a good idea to practice in pools or controlled environments first to get used to the settings and handling of your equipment underwater.
Also, learning about the marine life you intend to photograph can make a big difference, as understanding their behaviors will help you capture them at the right moments. There are even specialty courses in underwater photography that you might find helpful, offered by many diving schools. Always remember to practice ethical photography by respecting the marine environment and its inhabitants. Review your photos after each dive to see what’s working and what isn’t, and continuously learn from your experiences. Engaging with a community of underwater photographers can also be incredibly beneficial-they can offer valuable advice and inspiration. Lastly, the more you dive and shoot, the better your skills will become. Just keep diving, keep shooting, and enjoy the process!
hi
I am 51 …..I am signed. up for scuba training in the Pittsburgh area….I am interested in the field of photography …I do find big sharks beautiful. What is the realistic pay for this profession. I currently work in Cleveland Clifffs steel mill…. It would be much more meaningful to be in the ocean exploring our world beneath us
Hello Brent, nice you stopped by. I agree, exploring the world beneath is great - for me it always puts the world above into complete context. Answering your question about "realistic" pay as a professional photographer is not that straight forward: The road of becoming a professional, full time underwater photographer that gets paid to do his / her work is very arduous. There is few out there who only work as photographers all the time and mostly work is on a project to project basis, competition is also fierce and pay - unless you belong to the top 3% - is almost non existent. If you are looking to start out the best way is to improve your scuba skill and buy an entry level camera and start using that. Open an Instagram page and publish you pictures, follow other photographers and see where the journey take you. Hope this helps. Plenty of great snaps to You and safe diving at all time!
How can I contact u
Hey. Who would you like to contact? Martin, the photographer portrait in the video or me, who made the video ? Best.
Hello sir I am mohit i want to be a photographer
Hello Mohit! If You want to, you should go and be a photographer! I wish all possible good luck to You.
@@WetSouls thanks but But I am confused which photographer should I become
@@WetSouls can i become an underwater photographer i mean it has a job
@@WetSouls please tell me
@@ms11photographey I see. To become an underwater photographer you should be able to scuba dive or freedive. Have you ever tried / are you a certified diver? If you are certified and want to learn underwater photography the best way is to get a camera with an underwater housing and begin with easy subjects. Practice and learn the trait. There are also courses to learn the basics such as PADI or SSI courses. Then take it from there. As Martin suggests, for example, start with turtles. Hope this helps :)
