Marine photography involves taking photos underwater, usually through scuba diving, swimming, or snorkeling. It requires photography skills as well as diving skills. Education in photography or photographic technology is recommended. Underwater photographers must arrange shots and lighting, operate equipment like cameras, and perform tasks like printing, editing films, and maintaining inventories. Salaries range from $23,000 to $65,000 annually but can reach $80,000 for elite photographers. Additional skills like operating underwater machinery and working in a team are also important for marine photographers.
