Composition Strategies for Effective Underwater Photography

This exam centers on the composition strategies specifically tailored for underwater photography. Candidates will explore key elements such as framing, balance, and the rule of thirds, and how these principles are adapted to aquatic environments.

The significance of composition in underwater photography lies in its capacity to convey stories and evoke emotions. A well-composed image not only captures the beauty of marine life but also reinforces the narrative of preservation and awareness in marine environments.

Candidates will be tested on their ability to articulate composition strategies effectively, demonstrating how they influence image impact. Discussions will include the adaptation of traditional composition rules to the underwater context.

Further emphasis will be placed on the challenges posed by underwater conditions, including visibility, water movement, and light refraction, providing a comprehensive understanding of how to overcome these issues in composition.
