Water Photography: The Ultimate Inspiration—Course Preview
Ian PlantDescription
Professional photographer Ian Plant notes that water attracts photographers because it adds a magical element to most photographs. Light on water reflects the subjects that are in, on, and around the water, adding an element of light and color. The wildlife in and around the water, such as the plants and animals, inspires photographers as excellent subject matter.
In this course, Ian gives tips on photographing underwater to capture the magical world beneath the surface without spending a fortune. “It’s not the camera—it’s what you do with it that counts,” he says. He points out that water is a mirror to our world, reflecting what we see imperfectly to look like an impressionistic painting. Because of these three elements, incorporating water into your photographs will add light and life and dramatic reflections to your photography.

When I'm in the field, I spend most of my time doing this, getting wet. Why? Well as American scientist and writer, Lauren Isley once said, "If there is magic on this planet, "it is contained in water." Water is a great place to do photography and water itself is a great subject for your photography. And that's why I'm here today to help you find that magic and capture it with your digital camera. So wherever you live and wherever you go, keep an eye out for water and think of ways to creatively incorporate it into your photography.
I think you'll find that it'll take your photos to the next level.
