Underwater shoot using triggers, strobes, and tethering w/ Brett Stanley & Linnea
We're often asked about using lighting solutions with Outex for underwater photography. And the answer is; Yes, you can! There are many different ways to make it work. And that's part of the beauty of the modularity of the system. It can accommodate virtually any lighting setup you wish to use. You can use hot-shoe, camera mounted flash, remote triggers for above water lighting, and tethering to control underwater lighting - as well as combinations. We recently joined Brett Stanley in his underwater studio for a photoshoot with professional model Linnea Snyderman @underwaterlinnea. Brett custom build his pool to accommodate entire production sets underwater and optimize comfort, composition, versatility, and lighting conditions for underwater photography. Here are a few examples of his work. You can learn more about his work in his profile.
