Recommended Use

Nothing is more compelling than an enlarged 30x40 high gloss underwater image on duraflex or high gloss photo median mounted on black gaterfoam and framed in a black shadow box or metallic frame. Full resolution images can be purchased for $150. I recommend taking them to a high end commercial photo finishing lab that specializes in custom image detailing that can tailor your underwater image to your specific needs. Describe where you will hang the photo, the lighting, the colors in the room and the features that are the most striking in the photograph. The best part about underwater photography is that slight adjustments can be made to tailor an underwater scene without compromising our bias of how the photos should appear. The latitude for correction is wider than say, portrait photography, because our mind does not necessarily know how the underwater world 'truly' appears. We introduce underwater strobes to enrich the vibrant colors of marine life. Underwater photos always look more colorful than they originally appeared with the naked eye since the water column absorbs some of the color spectrum, especially as we get deeper.

For example, I had a shoreside scene of a dugout canoe adjusted with less green hues since I mounted the photo behind thick ¼" glass and brushed nickel stantions. The glass added some green to the photo. More magenta helped retain the vibrant glow of the image.

Of course, other uses are up to you . . . magazines, web sites, marketing materials, calendars and advertising brochures.
