Cameron Nilsson-Linne (kmo_underwater) has posted a thread on the Wetpixel forum called “Underwater photography - The professionals” in which he poses an apparently simple question:

“I can only assume that at least a few of the photographers on here must make a living from underwater photography. My question, put simply, is how?”

The responses are a fascinating insight into the business of underwater photography, and it is interesting to note that a key response seems to be that the really important ingredients in making underwater imaging work financially is how well an individual markets themselves and hard work!
