Description
I don’t often shoot with compact cameras but I absolutely loved playing with the Insta360 due to its wide scope for creative imagery. Whilst looking through footage I had captured on the liveaboard The Ghazala Express, in Egypt, I found a frame that told the story of boatlife, Egyptian reef diving and selfie photography on our little Blue Planet. This split level frame captures boat life, with the crew on the back of the deck. Moving in, it reaches the glistening surface of the water, then dips below to the vibrant coral reef. I take center stage, capturing the image whilst holding the camera up and half out of the water on a selfie stick. The Insta360 uses software to delete this stick from its images. I feel the image is a metaphor of our community diving in the exciting water bodies of our tiny Blue Planet.
