Where Light Meets the Underworld.

Diving Expeditions & Underwater Photography

Private dives, underwater photoshoots, and photography workshops in Playa del Carmen, MX

UNDERWATER PHOTOGRAPHY • CENOTES • TECHNICAL DIVING

For the last decade I’ve traveled the world shooting underwater — from the immensely biodiverse reefs of the Philippines, to giant sharks in the Bahamas, to the endless cave systems of the Mexican cenotes.

I work with divers, creatives, and adventure travelers who want images that feel alive — from private underwater photoshoots to small-group workshops here in Playa del Carmen.

If you want to learn how to shoot underwater with intention, explore the cenotes, or level up your lighting, you’re in the right place.

Explore my work, book a shoot, or dive into my guides below.

At 21, I walked away from my chef career, sold everything I owned, and moved to Mexico to dive.
Over the next decade, I shot sharks in the Bahamas, reefs in the Philippines, and caves across the Yucatán. But it was the cenotes that kept pulling me back.

Liquid Light is the culmination of that pull—ten years of obsession, exploration, and a relentless pursuit of light beneath the surface.
