Fresh on the Blog: Post-Production for Underwater Photography

This is the part where everything comes together. The organizing, the culling (yes, I still don’t love it 😂), and the editing that brings your images back to life.

I also dive into how colour actually disappears underwater, and why editing isn’t about changing reality, but restoring it.

If you’ve made it this far in the series, this is where it all clicks.

Fresh on the Blog: The Shoot for Underwater Photography

In this blog post, I’m breaking down the part of underwater photography where all the planning meets reality. The shoot itself. From working with human models to navigating ethical wildlife encounters, this post dives into presence, communication, adaptability, and knowing when to pivot or call it a day. It’s about more than getting the shot. It’s about how you show up once you’re in the water.

Fresh on the Blog: Pre-Production for Underwater Photography

In this blog post, I’m breaking down the part of photography no one sees, but everything depends on: pre-production. From choosing your subject and respecting wildlife, to camera settings, freediving gear, and planning for the unpredictable, this post is a deep dive into what actually happens before you ever get in the water. If you love getting nerdy about the craft, this one’s for you.

I’m sharing the real talk about what it takes to be a solopreneur in the creative world, and why who you are matters just as much as the work you create. If you’ve ever wondered what life as a freelance photographer is really like, this one’s for you.

There’s a certain kind of burnout that feels heavier than the rest.

For me, it’s when the camera starts to feel heavy—when even the idea of picking it up or sharing something online feels like a chore. Not because I’ve lost my love for photography, but because somewhere along the way, the pressure to constantly produce, to always be learning, improving, and performing, starts to chip away at the joy.

As a visual artist, journaling has always helped me process and reflect… I have a little notebook by my bed where I try to write three things I’m grateful for, and three things I’m proud of myself for, though I’ll be honest, it often turns into a messy vomit of poems, thoughts, and emotions. Still, the act of naming those things makes a difference.

But what I realized a couple of weeks ago is this:

No one tells you this when you start as a creative solopreneur: you need to know more than your craft.
