Under the water, things are different; everything becomes light and silent. For 10 years, I’ve been transforming aquatic backdrops into underwater photography studios for romantic couples' photoshoots. I combine natural light with flashes placed in and out of the water to create stunning pictures.
Each couple I bring underwater is a new challenge for me, as I adapt to their abilities and capture their personalities. It’s important to help them relax and be themselves, and get them to do things they never believed they could do. My sessions last three to six hours. It may seem long, but I need that time to connect with the couple so that together we can create beautiful photos that represent them. In general, the best photographs are achieved at the end when the lovers forget about the professional photographer and are having fun in the water. As time goes by, I too become more comfortable directing them so that their personality shines through the amazing photos.
I work in the sea, and in swimming pools where it is even easier to manage the light and the backgrounds. But, without a doubt, the most spectacular aquatic studios I know are the cenotes of the Riviera Maya in Mexico.
