In his presentation, Marty will use some of the tips from a new eBook, 101 Tips for Underwater Photographers, as a jumping-off point to help refresh your memory to help you prevent making costly mistakes and maximize your upcoming filming opportunities. Marty produced the eBook with his partner at WiseDivers.com, Eric Riesch. 101 Tips for Underwater Photographers is their first book. Four more eBooks are already in their pipeline.
While 101 Tips for Underwater Photographers was written with still photographers in mind, there is a lot of overlap between underwater still photography and videography. Marty worked as an underwater cinematographer and film producer for two decades and will be able to offer information that applies to both audiences.
