I have been shooting video and still photography, mainly nature photography and marine life behaviour for the last fifteen years. I run a number of photography workshops on both live-aboards and land-based operations in a number of destinations with UNIQUE OCEAN EXPEDITIONS. Each destination will have a unique behaviour or species we are trying to photograph so please research our expeditions to make sure it reaches your expectations. Some expeditions are snorkelling only. Below is an overall list of the skills set we will cover during each workshop and expedition. Please enquire for more details.
