Three. Requirements for photographers and venues

1, shooting time

When taking underwater wedding photos, you must choose the right time and try to choose sunny noon, because there is plenty of light at this time, and the most important thing is that the sun and water will have a fantastic transformation effect when shooting. If the water depth exceeds 10 meter, it is recommended to use an auxiliary light source to ensure clarity. And if you have to choose an indoor swimming pool to shoot, in order to create a soft and charming underwater world under strong light, you have to spend some time choosing appropriate lighting treatment.

3. Field water quality

If the quality of finished products is high, the clarity of water quality is also very important. So let the photographer shoot before the launch. In addition, a large number of bubbles will be generated during the launching activities of newcomers, so photographers should avoid the generation of a large number of bubbles, because a large number of bubbles will affect the clarity of finished products, so photographers should shoot after the actions of newcomers tend to be stable. But some newcomers may like to use big bubbles to create dreamy effects, so according to the needs of newcomers, photographers can also use underwater equipment to create big bubbles, or through post-PS.

4. Shooting skills

Even if there are suspended particles in transparent water, the farther away from the subject, the worse the definition of the photo. So try to use a wide-angle lens and shoot close to the subject. Try to avoid the camera shooting directly down, because it is smooth at this time, and the photos taken lack layering and contrast. The best shooting angle is equal to or lower than the subject. At this time, the illumination is side light or side backlight, and the photos taken have distinct layers and moderate contrast.
