We connect with this water world through the photos we love and the moments we live.
Art and nature have shaped my life for as long as I can remember! Traveling has completely transformed my perspective, reveling a world of beauty and endless opportunities anywhere I landed. I can’t wait to share this incredible journey with you—whether it’s through my photography or by going on photography adventures together! Together we can create unforgettable memories in the ocean, unleash our creativity in a pool, or hunt for treasures in the jungles! Because, at the end of the day life is all about connection, art, and community!
Chiara Salomoni - Underwater Photographer
Welcome to my world! I’m here to share with you this incredible adventure I get to live behind the camera one breath at a time. For me, it all began when I tried on a dive mask for the first time and started seeing the real beauty nature has to offer underneath the water surface. Creating stories to narrate that beauty through my art and underwater photography is my life's calling. From the clear mediterranean seascapes, to the plentiful underwater world of Hawai’i, join in, breathe in, dive in.
Conservation
To change the world in a positive way, getting people to see the beauty of our oceans is the first step. The second step is to give everyone the tools to appreciate beauty, see the threats that are hurting our seas, and recognize the power we all have within ourselves. Little by little we can all make a difference.
Book your underwater shoot
1
CHOOSE YOUR PACKAGE
If you are a private client, you can start by choosing the underwater photoshoot that fits your vision and pick your date. At any point throughout this journey, you can contact me with questions that aren't covered in the FAQ page. Seasons and ocean conditions can be difficult to predict especially if you are off-island, but we can always find a solution. Pick a product and a date and we will go on from there.

GET IN CONTACT
Now that you have picked your underwater photoshoot and date, it is time for you to contact me if you haven’t done so already. This will take about 30 minutes to an hour and we will discuss all the details! I'm so excited to hear about your ideas and underwater concepts. Together we will evaluate what is the best way to turn your ideas into photographs to make your underwater experience unforgettable. We are creating art together. Closer to the day of your shoot I will reach out to you again. This time, to either confirm your pool address if that is the set you chose, or to discuss the hopefully favorable conditions of the ocean location we’ll be going to.

TIME TO SHOOT
It's the day of your shoot! It's time to have fun and bring our heads together to bring your idea to life! The water has an interesting way to make you feel awkward especially when you are in front of the camera, but don't worry. That's what I'm here for. Whether you are freediving, in a shark cage, or posing in a pool, just relax and trust what I see and guide you as needed. The water will work its magic.

POST PTODUCTION AND DELIVERY
Now it’s my turn! I’ll take home what we created together and begin editing. This stage takes some time, as it’s where the creative process truly comes together.
You’ll receive different products depending on the underwater photography package and experience you booked. If you were part of a shark cage tour or a Freedive Level 1 FII class, you’ll receive a link to your finished product within 3–5 days of your shoot. For all other sessions, I’ll reach out to you a couple more times so we can collaborate on selecting the photos for your final product.
