I am a full-time photographer and videographer and half of my work is underwater. I do lots of pool shoots with babies and children and I love photographing wildlife underwater, in the sea.
I use several cameras for my underwater photography. I have a Canon 5D Mark IV Sony a7R IV with Ikelite Housings and DS Strobes.
