Behind The Shot: Go On A Solo Dive With Cristina Mittermeier And The Alpha 1 II

Making images underwater is no easy task. Not only are you dealing with the water’s current and unpredictable conditions, you also have to work around the behavior of the animals and try to control the light. Sony Artisan and conservation photographer Cristina Mittermeier often prefers to dive alone so she can control the lighting without interrupting other photographers or videographers. On one of her latest solo dives with her Alpha 1 II (Buy Now) and 24-70mm f/2.8 G Master (Buy Now), she came across one of the largest schools of kingfish she’s ever seen.

Watch as she shares her story behind the shot:
