Bahamas Underwater Photo Week
In May 2104, four underwater photographers, Eric Cheng, Berkley White, Stephen Frink and Alex Mustard were invited to the Bahamas for an assignment that aimed to capture a week underwater in the islands for Alert Diver magazine and the Bahamas Diving Association. Each photographer visited different dive sites and islands, in order to get as wide a variety of images and coverage as possible.
Whilst this was going on, cameraman and filmmaker Christian Dimitrius visited all four photographers at work and then susequently produced a film about his travels:
Wetpixel’s Abi Mullens and Adam Hanlon were embedded with the photographers and provided daily coverage of the event here on Wetpixel.
The full article about the event will be published in the Fall 2014 edition of Alert Diver.
