Underwater portrait photography in New Caledonia
A floating dress, dancing light, the feeling of flying. It is my signature, and you don’t need to know how to swim.
from 45,000 XPF
We always start in a heated pool: I explain breathing, floating and how to look underwater, then guide you through every shot. We stay where you can stand and stop whenever you want. If you feel at ease, we then head to the lagoon, an islet or above the reef, with boat trip and safety included in the Prestige package. Dresses and veils are provided.
- Fine retouching of every photo
- Private online gallery, no time limit
- Unlimited HD downloads

Your project, my advice
Every project is different. Here is what I recommend, depending on what you are looking for.
Yes, very
Then we are going to enjoy ourselves. We start in the pool to set the poses, then head to the lagoon if the weather allows: the late light there is unreal.

A little, I can swim
Being able to swim is plenty. Everything happens in a heated pool, standing most of the time, and I show you exactly what to do before each shot.

Not at all, it scares me
That is normal, and it is not a problem. We stay where you can stand, we go breath by breath, and we stop whenever you want. Nobody has ever left disappointed.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to know how to swim?
No, no level is required. The session starts in a heated pool where you can stand, and I show you exactly what to do before each shot.
Pool or lagoon?
Discovery takes place in a heated pool. Signature starts in the pool, then moves to the lagoon if the weather allows. Prestige takes you to the lagoon, an islet or above the reef, boat trip and safety included.
What should I bring?
Dresses and veils are provided. Before the session, we go over together what you need to plan.
How does the deposit work?
30 % by card (PayPal, no account needed) or bank transfer. The balance on the day of the session.
Why is the online payment in euros?
PayPal does not handle XPF: the deposit is charged in euros at the fixed rate (€1 = 119.33 XPF), with no fees.
What if the weather turns or something comes up?
We reschedule and the deposit stays valid. Cancellation more than 7 days ahead: full refund.

Free for any personal use. Commercial use: licence on quote.
