Brooke Shaden

...is an amazing photographer that I came across while looking through videos on creativelive.com; a site with tons of workshops that you can join online for free when they're sent live, or pay to watch at a later point. 

I missed Brooke Shaden's workshop, but I watched her video on inspiration which was for free and I've been hooked on her ever since. 

I am still trying to work out what my style is, as it has changed over the years. I know that I am a storyteller at heart, but the thought of putting together an underwater shoot in the spirit of Brooke Shaden is something that I would really like to try. Have you ever tried anything like it? Have a look at the video below and tell me what you think! 

This video goes through my personal process of shooting underwater and the top tips I've come up with for shooting without those painful mistakes. Some of these tips won't apply to everyone. For example, any backdrop can be used and made to look beautiful, and lighting is always an option underwater, so take these tips as they are given - with only personal experience to back them up.
