How to take underwater wedding photos?

Underwater wedding photos are usually taken in glass jars or swimming pools, and some adventurous newcomers are also taken in the sea.

Taking large underwater wedding photos with glass jars, the light is well controlled, avoiding the embarrassing situation of shooting in outdoor swimming pools on cloudy days or bad weather, and the water quality is slightly guaranteed. But photographers don't enter the water outside the glass jar and generally don't demonstrate. They all describe the action orally or show pictures to describe the action.

Taking underwater wedding photos of the outdoor swimming pool, the photographer and the guests enter the water together, which is highly interactive. But when the weather is bad, it is more troublesome, the light is poor, and the film yield is poor.

Matters needing attention in taking underwater wedding photos

Warm up before entering the water to avoid cramps. It is recommended to do squat, leg press, lateral leg press, leaning forward and tiptoeing ten times each, so that all possible cramps can be warmed up basically.

The first thing you do when you come out of the water is not to wipe your face or take your hair away. Instead, hold your breath for two seconds and breathe through your mouth. Because there will be a little water left in the person's position, it is easy to suck it in by breathing directly through the nose.

When taking underwater wedding photos, try to avoid the camera shooting directly down, because it is smoother 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.
