underwater shots

Photos beneath surface

Underwater shots are photographs or video footage captured beneath the water's surface.

In film and photography, the term refers to the technical challenge of shooting submerged subjects: The documentary featured stunning underwater shots of coral reefs.

In drinking culture, underwater shots are a different thing entirely—a shot glass of liquor dropped into a larger glass of beer, meant to be consumed quickly as it sinks.
