Description
Underwater Fine Art Portrait Photographer, Educator, WPPI Grand Master, and Canson Infinity Ambassador, Cheryl Walsh addresses the most important but rarely discussed product of being a true photographic artist: the final print. Cheryl will discuss how years of frustration with printing her own photographs drove her to find the answers to successful printing, contributed to her growth as a photographic artist, and ultimately has taken her business to the next level.

Join award winning, underwater, fine art, portrait photographer, Cheryl Walsh, for a look into her process photographing people underwater. She will share her philosophies on the art and science of underwater photography and the importance of addressing both before ever entering the water.

Attendees will be able to view pre-recorded films of behind the scenes as the shoot progresses from multiple camera points of view. Cheryl will give live commentary. From poolside watch as Cheryl prepares her camera equipment, lighting, and pool for the shoot. Listen in as she talks her model through styling and posing during a shoot and hear her model give tips on underwater modeling. See how she lights her models and dramatically changes the look of her photos with simple changes.

Anyone who has tried underwater photography knows that it’s far more challenging than it looks. If photography is an art and a science, then underwater photography is an art, a science and a science.

Her mastery of the science allows her to express her own unique artistic vision.
