Bokeh - The Photography Podcast
Business:Entrepreneurship
Underwater photography is a beautifully unique and niche market to pursue, but before you dive in and buy all new shiny equipment, it's important to know if you're ready for a whole new world of photography!
For episode 567 of The Bokeh Podcast, we are joined by Elizabeth Blank to talk about the ins and outs of underwater portrait photography and how to get started! From learning about the intricacies of shooting in a different environment down to the importance of knowing why you want to pursue a niche genre, Elizabeth covers both the exciting and challenging aspects of underwater photography.
