The Joy of Underwater Photography, with Craig Stampfli

June 25, 2020

Craig Stampfli is an accomplished photographer above and below the water line. His work is meticulous and demonstrates an attention to detail that only passionate artists imbue. The challenges to working underwater are many, and it's those challenges that drew Craig to this genre. In this interview you'll learn how he shoots underwater, safety issues, as well as the magic of shooting through liquid.


It all started when I went back to the West Indies to visit family and I borrowed a friends camera, I shot several rolls of film and decided that this was for me. That was 25 years ago, and in that time I have traveled the world with a camera in my hand. I've been known to set an alarm for 3am to then drive to THE spot, set up and wait for the light to be just right. I have also been known to make people feel at ease within seconds of being in front of my camera. Whether your event is Black Tie, or you want to get your feet wet with an Underwater Portrait Session, I can help make your occasion with me both enjoyable and memorable with a bit of fun thrown in for good measure.
