Hello!! 🌊🧂🐙

Since there are some new faces around here, I thought I’d post a picture of the guy behind the camera… me 😅

A little bit about myself and my life. I am a cold water diver from Vancouver Island, British Columbia. If you couldn’t already tell, I’m obsessed with the ocean and capturing the moments I spend with its critters. Some of my best encounters I love sharing here, with you!

I am a gear head and I love new tech. Especially when it comes to underwater photography and videography. Hit me up if you ever want to chat about cameras, gear or underwater lighting.

I currently shoot with a Sony A7IV in an Aquatica housing with a pair of Kraken Hydra 18k video lights. I edit all my own footage and really enjoy the process of colour correction. Mind you, working with light and colour has been my day job for the past 15 years. During the work week, I work in the world of cartoon 3D animation - Lighting and Compositing, to be specific. Which has everything to do with creating dynamic lighting and playing with bold colour.

In my spare time, I create digital paintings, featuring some of favourite ocean animals out here in the Pacific Northwest. I then turn all my designs into stickers, magnets and other merch. All of which you can find at www.gettingsalty.ca or follow the link in my bio.

Thank you all for following along with me and I look forward to creating more photos, videos and artwork to share with you.

As always, Stay Salty!
