“When you are shooting in the ocean, your open water knowledge is as essential as your photographic skills,” says Lucia. “You quickly realise how insignificant you are with that amount of water moving around you, and the biggest breakthrough comes when you learn to become part of the ocean and work with it, rather than against it.

“I have been lucky enough to shoot in some of the most testing waves in the world, and to be taught by some of the most experienced watermen.

“Running these courses with FOX is my opportunity to pass on this experience and show my students how to be safe in the water, to understand how a wave breaks in different environments both above and below the water, and of course how to be in the right place at the right time for that perfect shot!”
Overall, these courses are designed for students that can expect to learn what they need to really take their photography to the next level. They are for beginner and intermediate levels.
