These were taken by my friend Jeff Rose at Wes Skiles Peacock Springs state Park. He does a lot of UW photography, but this was his first time in a cave doing it.

I hope you enjoy them even 10% as much as I do. I plan on blowing up the originals to hang on my wall.

Thanks man I appreciate it. Although all the hard work was done by Jeff.
 
Well lit and composed cave photos -- I look forward to more!

Thanks! We are looking forward to making more. He still has a few more from this collection that I will post once they are sent.

Actually, it's harder to be the model than to be the photographer. A photographer produces nothing without a model that knows how to pose, where to hold lights, and when not to exhale!

So I am guessing I did halfway good! lol I am a graduate of the Zoolander School of Male Models.

Next time I am going to use some of my video lights and place them in areas of the cave for lighting, and maybe see if we can add more strobes. I had a blast doing this, and I hope we get to do it again soon.
 
I think you need a both a cooperative model a bit of photographic knowledge.


I waited something's like 4 years to take my set-up in a cave. Lots of variables including ISO, f-stop, shutter speed, strobe power and position combined with normal cave situational awareness.

I know I could not get those photos! I am really excited about our next dive.
 
I have dived with photographers who really wanted to school their models, and I have dived with some who just shot what they saw. I have fabulous photographs from both, but I know which makes for more fun diving!

That one was heavily choreographed, with the photographer giving constant signals on diver positioning and after an hour-long orientation session on body posture, breathing, and light management.

That one was shot, not by me, but by Ben Martinez, whose entire instructions on the photo dive consisted of, "Don't pay any attention to me."
