underwater photography

Submerged camera work

Underwater photography is the practice of taking photographs beneath the surface of water, whether in oceans, lakes, pools, or other bodies of water.

It requires specialized waterproof equipment or housings to protect cameras from pressure and moisture.

The discipline spans everything from documenting marine life to capturing shipwrecks to artistic portraiture in pools: She got certified in scuba diving specifically to pursue underwater photography.
