Искусство подводных портретов: шпаргалки для начинающих

Underwater portraiture is one of the most striking - and misunderstood - areas of photography. Beautiful, unpredictable, and technically demanding, it sits at the intersection of art, science, and safety. In this practical and honest guide, underwater portrait photographer Sophie De-Roe draws on over a decade of experience to demystify the process and make this unique discipline more accessible. From breathwork and buoyancy to lighting, equipment, and editing, this book breaks down the core principles that underpin successful underwater images - without gatekeeping or unnecessary jargon. It also addresses the realities often left unsaid: the costs, the risks, the common mistakes, and how to avoid wasting time and money learning the hard way. Whether you are a photographer looking to expand your practice, a creative exploring new mediums, or simply curious about what it takes to work beneath the surface, this book provides a clear, experience-led roadmap to get you started safely and confidently. Inside, you’ll find: This is not a shortcut to mastery - but it is a shortcut to understanding. By sharing both successes and mistakes, Sophie offers a grounded, realistic approach to underwater portraiture - helping you create stronger images, make better decisions, and develop your own creative voice beneath the surface.
