Underwater imaging is considered an especially challenging area of photography, since it requires very specialized equipment and techniques to be successful. Despite these challenges, it offers the possibility of many exciting and rare photographic opportunities. Animals such as fish and marine mammals are the most common subjects, but photographers also pursue shipwrecks, submerged cave systems, underwater “landscapes”, and portraits of fellow divers.

One of the best that I ever knew  with regards to underwater photography is Valerie Morignat, she produces images that is stunning to the viewer.

Valérie Morignat is an Underwater Photographer, is also a film director and an artist.

She was born in New Caledonia in 1974 and graduated from the Sorbonne University, Paris, with a Ph.D in Fine Arts and Art Sciences.
She has lived in New York City and now shares her time between France, where she is an artist and an associate professor of Futurology and Semiotics, and the South Pacific, where she develops artistic projects.
