Underwater Photography Courses for Beginners, Print Photos on Canvas

Photography & Underwater Photography Courses, Ocean Gifts & Prints, Print Your Photo on Canvas, Personalised Gifts, Snorkelling Courses

Welcome to the UK's only studio dedicated to help beginners in underwater photography create incredible images through personalised courses run daily in Swanage. I'm Maria, a multi-award winning photographer and author who is completely passionate about helping you master your camera settings both above and underwater, turn your photos into beautiful canvas or personalised gifts and chat all things ocean from marine conservation and show how beautiful recycled products can be made from single-use plastic.

I also give motivational and photography talks, write for magazines, create unique ocean gifts and inspire passers-by to learn about and want to protect our oceans. When I'm not in the studio, I love helping our oceans by collecting litter underwater and ghost-nets.

My first book on underwater photography (first published by Wiley Publishers - that's the creator of the "Dummies Brand") has been the 12th Best-Selling Book in the world. You can see all of my photography work on my sister site at www.oceanvisionsphotography.co.uk.

The whole space is designed with an ocean theme from gift cards to prints and ocean images from around the world, including many local ones of Dorset, to inspire that everyone can take incredible images with their phones, compact cameras, mirrorless or d-SLRs. I love helping guests create their own beautiful gifts on canvas, coasters, mugs and more with a same-day service whilst they go for a Swanage brew, have a spot of lunch or even go ocean exploring.

My dream is to encourage as many people as I can into our beautiful underwater world and give them them the confidence to create award-winning images.

Thanks for visting and I look forward to welcoming you to this little ocean paradise nestled in beautiful Dorset very soon. I'm open every day except Monday from 12 pm to 5 pm or just message me if you plan to visit outside these times. I'd love to put the kettle on and help you create inspiring images.
