From newlywed sessions to underwater fashion shoots: In order to create striking portraits, we transform aquatic spaces into photography studios. Over the years, our services have evolved from traditional newlywed underwater Trash the Dress sessions, to underwater maternity sessions, baby portraits, photo shoots with couples of all ages and orientations, and fashion models. Whether it’s in a pool, the sea, or a Mexican cenote, all we need is clean, clear water.

Managing underwater lighting: This is the key to creating amazing aquatic photographs. We use up to five different flashes in and out of the water to illuminate an underwater scene. Well-managed light reveals the emotions of the models and enhances the underwater landscape. Let’s not forget the magic of natural light! Our aim is to find the perfect balance between natural and artificial light.

NIKON for life! We use Nikon D800 (36 megapixel) cameras and the full Nikon lense range. We use Aquatica underwater housing for our cameras, allowing us to work with all the features of the Nikon D800 in the water.

AQUATICA HOUSING AMBASSADOR: Underwater, all my cameras (Nikon D800 and D850) are in hand-made Aquatica housing.

Comfort and safety first! Our priority is that you feel at ease and secure enough in the water to really be yourself. Our team will do all it takes to create safe and pleasant conditions so that you can let go and have a fun and unforgettable experience. Relaxed models help us to take the best photographs that really let their personality shine through.

Teamwork: Underwater portraits require teamwork! Depending on the location and the type of session, there will be three to seven of us on the team. One to three photographers will capture you from various angles, in and out of the water, while our assistants take care of logistics and technical details, water safety, make-up, refreshments and coffee breaks. It’s all in a day’s work on the dynamic set of an underwater photo shoot!
