In addition to being a well-published and award-winning photographer, Saeed is also a university lecturer and has been teaching for over 20 years. His style is fun but informative, and each workshop is different and taken at a relaxed pace allowing everyone to learn new skills whilst enjoying a holiday of a lifetime.
Saeed takes an open classroom approach with daily talks and one to one sessions to help you fine-tune and refine your own style. This includes how to get the best from wide angle, improving lighting and getting mucky with macro.
Post-processing is also a large part of underwater photography and with easy to follow steps he will help to dispel some of the myths around this apparent dark art and show you that it is easy once you know how.
Often overlooked as a dive destination, Bali offers exceptional diving, from superb macro life to exciting drift dives and encounters with pelagic species. The wreck of the USS Liberty at Tulamben is the island’s signature dive with colourful reefs and critters a plenty nearby.
