Underwater Photography: Light, Gear & Mindset with KATE JONKER - Episode 270
About this episode
Step into the world of underwater photography with award-winning shooter Kate Jonker as we explore the light, gear, and mindset needed to create stunning images beneath the waves. In this in-depth interview, Kate shares how to master strobe lighting, avoid backscatter, choose between dome and flat ports, and set up for both macro and wide-angleshots.
We cover everything from buoyancy control and approach techniques to composition that tells a compelling story. Learn Kate’s preferred gear setups, focus strategies, white balance tweaks, and color correction workflow.
Whether you shoot with a Sony, Canon, Nikon, compact, or GoPro, you’ll discover pro tips to light your subject, minimize haze, and bring the underwater world to life.
If you’re an amateur, semi-pro, or professional photographer — or just setting up your business — this episode is packed with practical advice to level up your next dive.
