Depending on what shoot you book you don't necessarily need to know how to swim. I require a good level of comfort in the water only for open ocean photoshoots but in the shark cage or the pool you don’t need to have any particular skill. Pool shoots will come with specific training and coaching that will help you get comfortable enough to sink, open your eyes, and get used to the water around you.

I get this question a lot and the short answer is: No. No RAW files or unedited photos are released to the client. Depending on the shoot you will get watermarked proofs for selection that are meant to be viewed only. When you book a shoot with me you book an art product from start to finish and quality control is extremely important for style consistency. I love selecting the images with those of you that book a private freedive shoot or a portrait session, but the post-production process will be executed entirely on my end.

A typical underwater photoshoot session lasts 1 to 2 hours, depending on the shoot's complexity and outfit changes. This includes briefings, getting comfortable in the water, and capturing the desired shots. We take breaks as needed to ensure everyone's comfort and safety.

For an underwater photoshoot, bring swimwear, a towel, and any specific outfits or props you want to include. If you have long hair, bring hair ties or clips. Don't forget sunscreen and water to stay hydrated. If you wear contact lenses, bring a spare pair or your glasses for after the shoot.

Safety is my top priority during underwater photoshoots. I conduct thorough pre-shoot briefings to ensure everyone is comfortable and aware of safety protocols. I work with experienced divers and safety personnel, using high-quality equipment to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
