Research- Wayne Levin

For my next installment to the research area, I am going to be researching a photographer who is called Wayne Levin. Wayne Levin is also an underwater photographer, but he takes his photography to the next level. By this I mean he will take photographs which look beautiful as they are and then he may edit them to add that extra effect to finish the image off.

Wayne Levin doesn't just concentrate on underwater photography he also photographs divers, swimmers and surfers aswell. This is why I wanted to research him because he has a wide spread variety of water photography which is just what I am looking for.

Surfer with Ancient Board

After taking a look through Levins work I thought I would start off with something a little bit different rather than go straight into his underwater photography. As I mentioned before Levin also likes to take pictures of surfers. This picture that I found was in my opinion one of my favourite surfer pictures he has done. He has captured the image perfectly and created the black and white effect to make the image ook old and to make it look like he is using and ancient board. The way this image was taken is absolutely brilliant, with perfect black and white colour and brightness I don't think he could've taken a better shot.

This is the second image that I found from Levins work. This picture is a fantastic shot of a shark swimming close to the camera with two other sharks in the background. Like I have said in my previous research when doing underwater photography you don't have to concentrate on getting pictures picture perfect but Wayne manages to get the perfect shot. Again here he has desaturated the image which creates an amazing effect. With the sunlight shining through the water onto the sharks, making this picture black and white suits it one hundred percent.
