Dive Socorro and learn about conservation photography with award winning Samantha Schwann

Join photographer Samantha Schwann on an expedition to world-class, big animal diving in the Revillagigedo Archipielago. Samantha will be onboard, continuing a 4-year project concentrating on the ocean's ecologically unique areas, and Socorro is a location so remarkable that she returns every year. Her work has received recognition via 11 international photography awards, was featured by NatGeo YourShot, published in Oceanographic Magazine, and exhibited across the USA and internationally. Samantha invites photographers and non-photographers alike for a unique behind-the-scenes experience alongside a pro photographer. Enhance your trip to one of the most spectacular locations on the planet: • Evening presentations. Samantha often presents to the public about conservation photography via radio, dive clubs, organizations such as REI, and art venues. She will conduct engaging evening presentations on board Quino el Guardian designed to enrich your experience via images and stories of the marine life and locations in which you will be diving, as well as conservation photography. • Sam will be experimenting and testing specialized equipment at night to attract and document marine life. Working topside from the boat's back deck, she invites guests to join in, either observing or directly participating. Join her for pre-breakfast morning coffee for a casual discussion on the day's photographic goals –approach, specific considerations for the day's dive sites, and problem-solve any issues. • Photo / Video. Whether you just like to document your holidays with a GoPro or are more serious about underwater photography, a few tips and tricks can be a total game-changer on this trip and ones to come. Sam can help with basic settings and, for those interested, will delve into more advanced topics such as composition, editing, color correction, shooting in challenging conditions, and creating a story or series.
