Successfully taking a photograph underwater requires technical proficiency, the right equipment, and at least basic knowledge of marine life. You have acquired all of that. So, why are many of your images still not as compelling as others? Photography allows us to convey information with clarity and efficiency – an asset to marine scientists whose primary goal is communication – but, this approach often yields images that garner only a glance rather than contemplation. In this session, we will explore the knowledge acquired by generations of artists and scientists who study “how we see,” to take your photography to the next level so you can create compelling images that express your vision of the moment according to your abilities, mood, and the manner you choose to fill the frame of the viewfinder.
