Welcome to the Underwater Creator Academy
Stoked you’re here.
I built The Underwater Creator Academy to be the one place I wish existed when I was learning—clear, practical, and easy to follow. I’m a self-taught underwater photographer/videographer, and over the last decade I’ve made every mistake, tested a ton of gear and workflows, and figured out what actually moves the needle in the water and in the edit. This community is where I’m putting all of that into a simple path you can follow—whether you’re just getting started or you’re already shooting at a high level and want to sharpen your edge.
What’s coming (and what you can expect)
Step-by-step lessons covering the full workflow: camera basics → in-water technique → storytelling → editing → export + delivery
Practical guides on settings, lighting, composition, movement, and getting stable/intentional shots underwater
Post-production breakdowns (color, pacing, sound, exports for different platforms)
Challenges and prompts to keep you creating consistently
A place to ask questions, share your work, and get real feedback from other ocean creators
How to get the most out of the community
1) Introduce yourself (keep it simple—what you shoot, your level, and your goal)
2) Post your work, even if it’s rough—progress happens fast when you get eyes on it
3) Ask questions early and often (no gatekeeping here)
4) Be generous with feedback—what you notice in someone else’s work improves your own
Most importantly: this isn’t about being perfect. It’s about getting better every week, building confidence in the water, and creating ocean stories that actually land.
Really excited to have you here—and I’m keen to learn alongside you too. Let’s build something epic together.
