As divers, we all love looking at fabulous photos. With the digital
age, more divers are getting decent photos with their point-and-shoot
cameras. But why do those images you see in a book or a special
website look so much better? For starters, they are using SLR
cameras...and then, of course, there is technique.
If you have graduated to an SLR camera but are not yet producing the
images you visualize, get professional help. With the money you have
tied up in your investment, the little bit more you spend to hone your
skills will reward you with great satisfaction.
Long-time friend of Sea Saba owner, John Magor, Mauricio Handler of
"Handler Photo" (www.handlerphoto.com) will be conducting a
photographic workshop on Saba: July 3-12 '09. Juliana's Hotel will be
the host hotel. Mauricio Handler is one of the industry's
leading underwater photography instructors and a respected expedition
leader. He is also a National Geographic underwater photography team
member.
For the past ten years, Handler has been teaching underwater photography
to students from all over the world through his SLR housed systems
workshops which are held in exotic land based destinations as well as
aboard the finest diving vessels worldwide. This year, he has chosen
his favorite Caribbean island, Saba, to host his summer 2009 program.
Handler's goal is to increase each student's knowledge of
photography by sharing his unique vision that he attributes to his many
years in the field. You will be empowered with new tools to create
individual and fresh images.
This workshop is intended for housed systems users of all levels,
serious amateurs as well as professionals who want to advance their
underwater image making skills. Handler will also consider non-slr
users with high end point and shoots. Expect an intense week with up to
four hours of underwater time per day, daily lectures and open image
critiques. Lecture subjects include: natural, strobe and mixed
lighting photography, wide, macro and extreme macro as well as strong
emphasis on composition and aesthetics. Equipment maintenance and field
repair is also covered together with effective image workflow.
One-on-one time with Handler is an essential element of this program
when compared to other workshops. This workshop will catapult you to a
new level in image making.
Handler will reveal techniques brought in from the field, that when
combined properly make an award winning image a reality.
