Underwater Photography Anna
Underwater Photography in the perfectly transparent water of a cenote for Ana. Her fresh beauty and her long blond hair, were the perfect elements for this underwater photography session in the magic of the Yucatan Peninsula. As flight attendant in the everyday life, this beautiful Spanish girl was really flying underwater. The perception of shooting good pictures was consistent all session long.
“There is a fine line between creating shadows and creating depth and perspective. If you are too uneven with your lighting you get harsh shadows that deteriorate the photo, unless you are using that as an effect.” – Espen Rekdal
“I think diver pictures are the most boring and redundant photographs on the face of the earth. I hate to say it as I fear it might insult a lot of people. It’s just my personal feeling; what fascinates me about the ocean is the marine life, not divers.” – Chris Newbert
“Just pay attention to the light wherever you are. Light is the basic of photography. In 1839, Daguerre and Niépce had to use light and we still use light. Even with digital, without light there is nothing. Once the photographer understands light, their pictures will look different.” – Kurt Amsler
The magic of photography is metaphysical.
What you see in the photograph isn’t what you saw at the time. The real skill of photogr aphy is organised visual lying – Terence Donovan
The way in which the photograph records experience is also different from the way of language. Language makes sense only when it i s presented as a sequence of propositions. Meaning is distorted when a word or sentence is, as we say, taken out of context; when a reader or listener is deprived of what was said before, and after. But there is no such thing as a photograph taken out of context, for a photograph does not require one. In fact, the point of photography is to isolate images from context, so as to make them visible in a different way. – Neil Postman
