Winning Images with Any Underwater Camera: The essential guide to creating engaging photos

As an underwater photographer with some experience, I appreciated a book that focused on the composition rather than technicalities (the exception to that was the section on image processing).The book covers "rules" of composition in the context of underwater photography. The writing is clear and concepts are illustrated with examples which are quite stunning on their own. (I bought the kindle version which takes a bit out of that experience.)I learned from reading the book (didn't have a chance to see how this impacted my photographs yet). I liked the "case studies" at the end of the book that prepare the mindset and consideration for specific situations.On the downside, I felt that at times the text was a bit repetitive and overall it was a bit of a short read.Disclaimer: I didn't read much about photography composition in general, and so cannot compare this book to ones aimed at broader class of photographers.

This a must buy for the serious underwater photographer. It is the ultimate technical guide to composition.

Very comprehensive!

Too technical for the average diver taking pictures.

A fresh perspective on the key aspect of what makes an underwater image work for the viewer i.e. COMPOSITION!! Thoroughly enjoyed reading Paul's ideas on what it takes to make a winning image with an underwater camera system. The ideas presented can be easily applied to those uw photographers taking pictures with compact or SLR systems.

Only halfway through it, and I can't put it down! I've been waiting for a book like this - all about the art of u/w photography! Some of the stuff that Paul writes makes it seem as though he's been my dive buddy a few times... A great read and a book I already know I'll read again!
