Stoney Cove, UK

Stoney Cove is the National Diving Center in Leicestershire. It was originally a quarry, dug out over a hundred years ago, from which granite was removed and used to repair roads. The quarrying ceased in 1958 and spring water was allowed to flood the quarry workings. It quickly become popular with local divers and waterskiiers.

Underwater Portraiture

Are you looking for a unique portrait? One that will stand out from the crowd and demand to be looked at?

Perhaps you’re a musician and would love something different, or a CEO who wants a special image for the company report.

Maybe you're a baby or children's swim school and want to offer a professional underwater photography session for the children and their parents, with the parents being able to purchase prints and other items through a password protected website.

Underwater portraits are made in the shallow end of a warm swimming pool. I build a complete underwater studio in the pool, with backdrops, professional lighting and a DSLR in an underwater camera housing. The sessions are fun and you only need to hold your breath and duck your head underwater for a few seconds at a time.
