Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of underwater photography! This exclusive workshop in Bali offers you the unique opportunity to create breathtaking images in one of the most beautiful environments in the world. Whether you are an advanced amateur photographer or a professional – here you will expand your skills and create unforgettable works of art.
Bali is a photographer’s paradise: from crystal clear waters to volcanic rock formations and colorful schools of fish, the island offers countless breathtaking subjects. Our carefully planned shoots take full advantage of this unique backdrop and guarantee spectacular images.
This workshop offers you the unique opportunity to create exceptional underwater images for your portfolio – with experienced models and even without a diving license. In a small group of a maximum of six photographers, you will learn step by step how to create impressive shots in the pool and in the sea. You do not need any diving equipment for these shoots.
During the first shoots on land, you will learn how to guide your models and create a harmonious and relaxed atmosphere on set. Effective strategies and individual support will help you and your model to achieve the best possible results.
You will learn all the special features and safety aspects you need for a safe and relaxed underwater shoot. This way, you can ensure that your customers have a positive and unforgettable underwater photo shoot with you and can look forward to unique images.
If you would like to offer your clients professional and extraordinary underwater photo shoots in the future, this workshop is the ideal preparation for you.
Beginners: as a photographer with no experience in underwater photography, you will be guided and coached step-by-step to confidently and reliably capture stunning images in the pool and sea.
Professional photographers: You will learn all the strategies, processes, tips and techniques to create commercial and high-quality underwater images for your clients. You will also learn which aspects need to be considered for special target groups, e.g. pregnant women or couples.
Photographers with a diving license have the unique opportunity to capture spectacular shots of a model in the ocean at two breathtaking dive sites: the wreck of the USS Liberty and a Balinese underwater temple. To participate in these ocean shoots with scuba gear, you will need at least 30 completed dives and a current medical certificate.
These locations offer a fascinating backdrop with impressive corals, countless fish and historic ship structures. The model for these shoots is a certified diver who removes her diving equipment as soon as we arrive at the destination underwater. During the shoot, the model is supplied with air by a safety diver so that impressive shots can be taken. This technique can increase the duration of the shoot many times over compared to shoots where the model has to swim to the surface to catch their breath.
Special safety precautions must be observed for these underwater shoots due to the particular challenges involved. These are explained in detail. Strategies are also presented for a variety of scenarios that could occur during these advanced underwater shoots. You will learn which details and procedures you need to pay attention to in order to ensure your safety and the safety of the model at all times.
From guiding the model on land to executing a professional shoot underwater – you will receive comprehensive and focused knowledge, personalized guidance and practical tips for the entire process. The limited number of participants of six photographers guarantees comprehensive support so that you can optimally develop your skills and learn and implement new processes during the five-day workshop.
In addition to the extensive knowledge and the practical implementation and optimization of all techniques, you will also receive enchanting and unique shots to expand your portfolio. In particular, underwater photo shoots in the ocean with an experienced underwater model on a shipwreck and the underwater temple require planning and preparation that should not be underestimated – both for the model and the photographer – and ensure shots that will take your portfolio to a new level.
Take this opportunity to expand your photographic skills and create spectacular underwater shots! Register now and secure your place on our exclusive workshop in Bali.
The course will be held in English and German. We expect an international field of participants.

Model sharing: Maximum of two additional photographers per shoot.

Theory and practice: Learn everything from image composition to complex color corrections.
Individual support: Thanks to small groups, you receive tailored feedback and support.
The five-day workshop is designed to ensure a varied mix of theory and practice. The practical component is significantly higher than the theoretical component so that the processes and techniques learned can be implemented and optimized in a targeted manner. Individual support and productive feedback ensure a steep learning curve and maximum results. Some shoots are only suitable for experienced divers.

Depending on the weather conditions, the program may be restructured to ensure the best possible conditions for the shoots.

Stefan Grund (Zauberlehrling)2024-08-01Es war ein absolut tolles Erlebnis! Das Shooting, die Bilder alles wirklich klasse. Auch menschlich hat es zwischen uns sehr gut gepasst und ich kann mir niemand besseren für ein solches Fotoshooting vorstellen! Vielen Dank dafür!A. W.2024-03-06Ein begnadeter Unterwasserfotograf. Super freundlich, immer ehrlich und direkt, rücksichtsvoll und professionell. Die Bilder sind wie aus einer anderen Welt und auch das Shooting an sich lässt einen wie eine traumhafte Nixe fühlen, egal was das Thema ist. Für Anfänger und für Fortgeschrittene immer ein Spaß. Preise sind absolut vertretbar. Eine garantiere Empfehlung von mir für alle möglichen Anlässe. Unterwassershooting muss man im Leben mal gemacht haben, wenn man Wasser liebt 😍Melanie Schubert2023-09-28Christian hat unsere Hochzeit von früh bis abends begleitet und uns wunderschöne Fotos und ein tolles Video erstellt, welches jede Erinnerung wieder aufleben lässt. Nochmals vielen Dank dafür!Olaf Treibsand2023-08-23Wir haben uns nach langer Suche für diesen Fotografen entschieden unsere Hochzeitsfotos machen zu lassen und waren so begeistert, dass wir gleich noch ein Babybauchshooting dran gehangen haben. Wir haben uns beide Male sehr gut aufgehoben gefühlt und die Bilder sind genau so geworden wie wir es uns gewünscht und vorgestellt hatten. Es wird viel mit natürlichem Licht gearbeitet und anschließend auch wenig nachbearbeitet, wodurch die Fotos ihre Natürlichkeit behalten und wenig bis gar nicht gekünstelt aussehen. Wir haben von Anfang bis Ende positive Erfahrungen gemacht und können Lichtfang Fotografiere mit bestem Wissen und Gewissen weiterempfehlen. Immer wieder gern.Isabel Dederichs2023-06-28Christian ist ein Fantastischer Fotograf, ich kann Ihn einfach nur weiterempfehlen.Lisa Mayr2023-02-09Letzten Sommer habe sowohl ein Überwasser- als auch Unterwassershooting mit Christian erlebt.

Und so haben wir wunderschöne Fotos erhalten. Wir können Christian nur empfehlen.Karen Spreu2022-08-27In diesem Jahr habe ich mir meinen Wunsch von einem Unterwassershooting erfüllt und ich bin sehr Glücklich das meine wahl auf Christian gefallen ist. Durch das sehr ausführlichen Vorgespräch per Video Chat konnte ich mich gut auf das Shooting vorbereiten und an dem Tag selber hat er mich sicher durch das Shooting geführt.
