## Description

Buy Underwater Photography Masterclass by Alex Mustard (ISBN: 9781781452226) from desertcart's Book Store. Free UK delivery on eligible orders.

Review: Inspirational and accessible! - I nearly didn't buy this book because I was thinking it would just be a rehash of the usual basic photography and underwater advice but I'm so glad I did! Alex Mustard doesn't spend lots of time explaining the basics of photography but instead focuses on a few key topics to start off such as how to choose an underwater setup, lighting etc. The rest of the book is all about specific underwater techniques and how to turn competent shots into fantastic ones. Lots of great ideas and suggestions accompanied by beautiful photographs but very concise and accessible and light enough to take on a trip. For beginners it's a great introduction, although you will need to understand basic photography concepts such as aperture, shutter speeds, ISO etc. to get the most out of it. But where I think this book really stands out is for those who have mastered the basics of underwater photography and can take reasonably good shots using manual mode but now want to take it to the next level, whether that be with a compact or SLR. There's good advice on lenses and external lighting and the book encourages you to find new and interesting subjects where you wouldn't have thought to look for them (e.g. patterned backgrounds, macro life) as well as try new ways of making popular subjects look different (e.g. remotely triggered strobes in wrecks). If you find you're coming back from every trip with pretty much the same set of photos and are starting to wonder what the point of it is then this is the book for you. I can't wait to get back in the water and start trying it all out!
Review: A must have book for any aspiring underwater photographer. - This book deserves only 5 star reviews. It deals with every shot that I can think of in underwater photography, it is a book that communicates. It is all about lighting. Alex has made an outstanding contribution to underwater photography through this book alone. I will be using it, reading it, re-reading it and digesting all of the great lessons contained in it. There are some great books out there, Martin Edge's book "The Underwater photographer", Jim Church's book "Essential Guide to Composition", David Doublet's "Water, Light, Time" to name but a few. This book is in the tradition of these great books. A master photographer, teacher, communicator doing his thing. A must read, a reference book and a delight, with stunning images too.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Everything you need to know about underwater photography
*by A***R on 4 June 2016*

I've been trying to take photos while diving for the last few years. It's not easy and I've read quite a bit about it in books and on the web. I wasn't sure if I could justify buying yet another book but as the cliche goes if you buy one book on underwater photography this should be it. There's a good reason for saying this, Alex Mustard brings all his considerable technical knowledge and experience together in a form that's easy to understand. The book is clearly laid out, the photographs are superb and it's a pleasure to read. Just reading through the chapters made me want to go out and diver some more with my camera. As the title says it's a masterclass in photography and it's written by a master.
