Scott Vo
Scott Vo is a commercial fashion and fine art photographer based in Oklahoma City. His ongoing underwater series captures subjects in an otherworldly state of pause. Often, his models are dressed in delicate and bright fabrics, emphasizing the dreamlike nature of the setting and the weightlessness one feels when immersed in water. Echoing these fluid and romantic images are Scott’s portraits of local ballet dancers and aerial artists, which capture the subjects’ graceful athleticism and ability to appear to float on land.
Diving into Underwater Portrait Photography
Underwater portraits can be ethereal and allow the photographer to unleash their creativity in a low gravity environment. Many people have dreams of breathing underwater and some wish to create a photograph of their dreams. However, it can be intimidating to get started and succeed.
Scott is presenting an in-depth presentation on how he achieves his unique underwater portrait looks. With many years of practice, he is here to give you the techniques you need to succeed.
By attending this two in one meeting, Scott will go into detail about different underwater housings, his personal photographing techniques, special lighting options, and a live demonstration in the pool.
The first part of the evening will cover the supplies and equipment that is needed for you to succeed. Scott will also discuss the safety and precautions that you and your team will adhere to for a fun experience and go over topics that one may overlook before diving in.
The following part of the evening will be a live demonstration of Scott in a swimming pool showing how he captures his unique portraits. If you have an underwater housing that you would like to bring to the demonstration, Scott may be available for guidance and questions if time allows. Please understand that Scott Vo and Metro Professional Photographers Association are not liable for any injuries, damages, or equipment loss, during this presentation. Please proceed at your own risk and we all want to make sure this is a fun and memorable presentation!
We hope you come and dive right in!
