Underwater Photography workshops

Transform your images—elevate your vision.

Join The Workshop

Join award-winning underwater photographer Shawn Murphy for a hands-on workshop.

For over a decade, I’ve explored and photographed underwater worlds worldwide — from beam-lit caverns and freshwater springs to vibrant coral reefs, open-ocean giants, and rare marine wildlife.
My underwater photography workshops are immersive, hands-on training experiences with in-water, 1-on-1 guidance. You’ll learn the exact lighting, composition, and camera techniques I use to capture professional-quality images. Whether you’re a seasoned shooter or new to underwater photography, you’ll leave with the skills — and a portfolio — to prove it.

Cenotes
Three days. Beam-lit caverns. Surreal freshwater worlds where light becomes liquid. This is cenote photography at its most transformative.

Cozumel
Crystal clear reefs. Wide-angle shots of turtles, eagle rays, and massive coral structures. At night, the reef lights up — bioluminescence, squid, and Fluero photography!

Workshop Reviews

My expectations have been set so high, I don’t know if anyone else could match them.

I booked a three-day underwater photography workshop with Shawn in the cenotes, and the entire experience was flawless. Every shot was timed with light rays and customized for the images I dreamed of. I even got incredible portraits of myself as a bonus. Shawn and Arthur planned every frame with intention and grace. It was the best dive experience of my life.
