Sydney Underwater Portrait Experiences
This is not a traditional photoshoot.
It’s an underwater portrait experience for anyone — whether you’re completely at home in the water or stepping outside your comfort zone.
We capture natural, unforced moments beneath the surface — where movement, light, and the human form come together in a way that simply doesn’t exist on land.
Whether it’s a moment in time you want to remember — like pregnancy, a milestone, or simply your connection to the ocean — these are images that feel personal, timeless, and uniquely yours.
How It Works
-
Purchase your underwater portrait voucher securely online.
Vouchers are valid for 12 months and can be used for ocean or private pool sessions within Sydney. Once purchased, you’ll coordinate directly with Leo to plan your shoot.
-
We’ll lock in a location based on conditions and your preference.
Most ocean sessions take place at Manly Beach or Bondi Beach, depending on water clarity, swell, and light.
Pool sessions are held in carefully selected ocean or private pools around Manly, the Northern Beaches, and the Eastern Suburbs.
Each location is chosen to ensure the best possible water conditions, safety, and overall result.
-
We monitor ocean and weather conditions closely and coordinate a time that works for your schedule and delivers the best possible water clarity and light.
Conditions can change quickly. If they significantly impact image quality, we offer a complimentary reshoot.
Alternatively, sessions can be moved to a private pool. During winter months, heated pools are used to ensure comfort and consistent results.
Underwater Portrait Sessions
A water-based portrait session designed for people who want something natural, cinematic and deeply connected to the ocean.
These sessions are photographed in the ocean or a heated pool, using natural movement, light and the atmosphere beneath the surface to create calm, visually unique imagery unlike traditional portraits.
