For photographers new to underwater model photography, mastering how to archieve great results on their own can be a challenge. From researching and experimenting with camera settings and light set-ups, organising numerous test shootings, locations, models and potentially gear and safety divers to practice, to getting familiar with post production… All these steps are time and energy consuming while you might still not obtain the results you were hoping for after countless shootings. Moreover, safety comes first! Therefore, when you are starting to shoot in the water, it is necessary to become knowledgeable about safety requirements, especially if you´re shooting with inexperienced models.
If you are planning on offering uw shootings for clients in the future, developing the skills required to consistently deliver high quality images and building an impressive portfolio may take a lot longer then you anticipate.
So why not skip all the trials and errors and get a headstart?
Dive into the world of underwater model photograpy under the guidance of an award winning underwater photographer.

Location: In cooperation with Action Sport we offer this special underwater photography workshop for the first time in Al-Qusair, Egypt. Fantastic coral reefs and warm water temperatures offer excellent conditions for this workshop. We will use Roots Luxury Camp as our base and look forward to the hospitality of this diving camp and it´s mesmerising reefs.
To provide maximal results through close up mentoring, the number of participants for this workshop is limited to 7. The minimum number of participants for the workshop is 4 participants.
The workshop is supported by PanOceanPhoto & Travel and Isotta Unterwasser Gehäuse.
Note: The pictures were taken during our previous workshops in Bali and serve as examples. The Red Sea and the area around al-Quseir offer different, yet just as ideal possibilities, marine wildlife and corals. As the workshop is taking place here for the first time, we do not yet feature sample underwater model images from this specific area.
The four day workshop includes three theory sessions, three image editing sessions, one swimming pool shooting and six underwater shootings with models in the ocean. Throughout the course, you will recieve individual support and personal instructions.
We have planned extraordinary photo shootings that are difficult to organize by yourself. Everyone will be able to enrich their portfolio with masterpieces for their own advertising.
