Underwater Photography Coaching

For Divers Who Want More Control Underwater

You already know how to dive.

Now let’s refine your camera control and buoyancy.

1:1 Underwater Photography Coaching

A structured progression built on stronger diving and shooting systems.

Your photography will become more intentional, repeatable, and creative.

Where do we start?

Preparing for a dive trip?

Learning how to use your new camera, housing, and/or lighting system?

  • Zoom coaching sessions

  • At-home shooting challenges

  • Trip prep and gear refinement

  • In-water intensives

So when you spend your time and money diving abroad you spend it with ten years of in-water shooting experience behind you.

Meet Your Coach

Over the last decade, I developed a system for creating consistent underwater images —

• The caves of the Yucatán
• Macro ecosystems in Southeast Asia
• Large shark encounters in the Bahamas
• Historic shipwrecks of the Great Lakes

These environments taught me how diving, light, and photography truly work together.

Now I teach that system — so you can progress faster, avoid wasted dives, and start producing strong images with intention.
