Frazier Nivens has studied photography for many years and started taking underwater photos in 1967 when he first began diving with a Nikonos II underwater camera and Nikonos Bulb Flash. Frazier now uses state of the art digital underwater imaging equipment and uses a Canon R5C in a Nauticam Housing with lighting by Big Blue Dive Lights and Ikelite Substrobes.
The Professional Digital Underwater Photography Course consists of: 3-1/2 days of classroom workshops and Powerpoint presentations covering everything from the basics if you need them to include advanced shooting techniques. Frazier will customize the course to fit your needs. Close focus wide angle/macro/ techniques will be shown and you’ll work with your existing equipment or rental underwater camera equipment to perfect your techniques. A post dive Photoshop and Lightroom workshop in how to make the most of your underwater photography digital will also be conducted.. There will be 3-1/2 days of two tank dives where you will practice your skills underwater under Frazier’s helpful observation. Constructive positive critique will be given on each image after each dive with suggestions for improvement given for the next dive.
During the training dives Frazier gives you tips and corrects your technique by using OTS Full Face Mask and buddy phone communications.
