Underwater Workshop With Christian Caballero
Summary, Date, Time, Location
Summary
This is an underwater workshop and photoshoot session for 1st time underwater muses. Underwater photography is an experimental form of photography that requires unique pre and post production work.
Notice: because we are working in “uncharted photographic territory” please reserve an art-like expectation to what we accomplish. I will provide catching and set expectations for what we can create; but the results will depend much on the weather, the atmosphere, the pool, your comfort of being underwater, and our equipment’s capabilities.
That being said … we will have a lot of fun creating something that is truly unique and one-of-a-kind.
Date: coming soon
Time: coming soon
Location: coming soon
Workshop Details
We will be working on the basics of underwater musing which includes …
- Relaxed facial expression; possibly the most important thing to achieve in this process.
- Underwater posing, shapes, and gliding positions
- “Fabric painting”

When Will You Get The Deliverables?
Underwater photography editing is very challenging and time-consuming. Colors will need to be replaced and the scenes needs to be cleaned of any obstructive materials in the pool. Please expect your photos to be completed between 3-4 weeks. *We can speed up the editing process for an additional fee.
How To Prepare
Hair and Makeup
Being underwater naturally smoothes out your skin tone (and slims your body), so heavy makeup like concealer or base may not be needed. However, WATERPROOF lipstick, eyeliner, and eyeshadow look great.
Please do not style your hair into anything fancy. Leave it down and natural. IMPORTANT: Wash your hair before the shoot. This helps keep your hair light so that we can use it to create a sense of motion. If you do chose to style you hair (slightly) I would only recommend a very light curl that still has the ability to show motion underwater through it’s length.
Bathing Suit
I request that you have a solid colored bathing suit. Solid white works great and so does black. Please stay away from blues, greens, and busy patterns. We want to stay within a contrast color against the water’s blue, and heavy patterns seem to get lost in ripples and water waves.
Nudity
Nudity is possible if you have reserved a private pool that is closed off to the public.
Safety
- I will run through the standard underwater safety measure for each model.
- Participants should not have any illness or history of illness that will be a health risk to themselves or others.
- I will do my best to communicate every safety concern the best I can. It is also your job to voice any concerns you may have. You are not obligated to do anything you don’t feel safe doing. Communication is the best safety measure.
*by making payment you will have agreed to the model release, safety release form, and will not hold the photographer, his associates, or his company liable for any injury to yourself or property during this event.
Results
Underwater musing is a completely different form of modeling, which is why we hold workshops to train you on the basics. Because this is a training course, we can’t guarantee that your photos will turn out on the cover of vogue magazine. However, almost every past workshop has produced AMAZING photos. Take a look here to see past underwater workshop results.
Fees
- The workshop and photo session is $550 if you can not provide a private pool.
- If you can provide a private pool with great lighting then the price drops down to $375
- These fees do not include any upgrades.
