UW Photography Classes
SeaIt.com specializes in diver training with underwater cameras from beginner to advanced. Our philosophy on underwater photography classes is simple; they must 1) get the information to the student clearly and quickly 2) allow time for feed back from the student and 3) be flexible in scheduling. To that end we have designed several 4-hr long, half-day private or semi-private sessions to choose from that can be completed over any 4-hour block of time that the student has free. Mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends or weekdays. All are available to you!
Students start by selecting the type of class they want. Choose from either Compact camera, D-SLR or Workflow classes. Then, select more specific class subjects such as: Basic, Macro, Wide Angle or Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. Either classroom sessions or underwater “ocean days” are available to the student. Once a class is requested by email or phone a date and time are arranged and then the Instructor will ask a few background questions to get a better feel for the students ability level. Each class is then customized for you around a set of either basic or advanced underwater photographic principles and concepts. Classes are given in an informal lecture style and each student receives an outline to minimize note taking during class. Visuals are used to illustrate key information and to keep things flowing during class.
This approach has proven itself over the years with literally hundreds of students as the fastest and the most effective method of underwater photography training. It’s you, your equipment and whatever you want to focus on plus, plus, plus!
