I’m located on Aruba and I shoot in private pools all over the island. When you have a private pool that comes with your vacation rental or AirBnB, I’m happy to come to your pool for your convenience.
I can work with almost every pool with clear water (for visibility). The bigger the more poses and possibilities. For safety reasons it is important that you can stand in the pool, with your head above the water. The pool needs to be at least 4.3 feet (1.30m) deep, 6.6 feet (2m) wide and 9.8 feet (3m) for to get an entire body in the frame underwater.
Yes. Pools are the best controlled environments for underwatershoots. Because of safety and visibility reasons I only shoot in pools. In the ocean there can be safety hazards as well as visibility issues. I choose private pools, because I think it’s important that my clients feel at ease in a more private setting.
Don’t worry if you don’t have a private pool, because I have one that we can use for the shoot in the center of Aruba in Paradera. For the little ones there is a slide. The pool is 5 feet (1.50 meter)
deep at the deepest point. Right next to the pool there is room with a toilet and a shower where you can change.
Here you can find the prices. Underwater photography is one of the more expensive kinds of photography. Underwater photography is more challenging for models and photographers then on land photography. For professional underwater photography you need underwater gear besides a professional camera and lens. Also the time that’s put into professional editing is longer than on land editing.
Yes. Within one week after the shoot you’ll receive the unedited selection of which you can choose your photos. $200 per extra photo.
Yes. Let your friend or family member or partner attend your private pool underwater photoshoot.

It depends on the pool size and the available time for the shoot and editing. If possible an extra participant will cost $250.
