About Dom<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I\u2019m Dom, a keen dive instructor and underwater photographer from New Zealand. I started my photography journey early 2020 with nothing but a Gopro and a float handle, slowly improving my results with home built trays and video light attachments. Flash forward to the beginning of 2021, and I invested in my first underwater setup, with a Canon G16 and a low budget strobe.<\/p>\n

I got a lot of use out of this kit, up until the housing leaked and the camera was flooded. With a complete captivation around underwater photography by this point, I bit the bullet and invested into my setup that I am still using to this day, a Canon 5d Mark 3 with an Ikelite housing and strobes (I have a good friend to thank for an excellent price on this). Looking forward to producing more shots with this setup all around New Zealand, and beyond!<\/p>\n
