Capturing Memorable Moments With Fuvahmulah Photoshoots
Here at Pelagic Divers Fuvahmulah one of our main objectives is to help the guests have a unique and exhilarating experience during their time spent here in the beautiful Fuvahmulah waters. In order to fulfill this objective, part of our services include helping divers capture their time underwater. We have a talented team of two who work tirelessly and strive to provide guests the finest photos and videos to keep as precious mementos.
Meet The Creatives Behind The Lens
Capturing the magic of above and beyond the waters, our resident Fuvahmulah photographer and videographer Mohammed Saarim Abdullah as well as Pelagic Divers Fuvahmulah’s founder, Ahmed Inah, have guests in awe of their remarkable captures. In addition to the unforgettable dive experience, they are also ready with a camera in hand to take photos and videos for anyone who wishes to document their experience. Here, they provide an insight to their Fuvahmulah photoshoots and creative process. They each bear a unique approach as well as a keen eye for storytelling.
Inah – Real Time Storytelling Through The Lens
Inah chooses to use top-tier equipment to ensure every moment is captured with clarity and emotion. He shoots with the Sony Alpha 1, paired with 16 – 35mm and 50mm lenses. As for his underwater photoshoot in Fuvahmulah, he relies on a Red Gemini enclosed in a Gates housing. This gear is perfect for low-light conditions and natural, honest video work.
Inah does not subscribe to a particular photography style. Instead, he lets the moment dictate the image. His focus is on capturing authentic, cinematic action, using the lighting and environment to shape each frame. For scuba diving in Fuvahmulah sessions, he often prefers quieter settings. A serene dive allows him to shoot close to the subjects and stay away from crowds. In turn, this permits him to focus on the time the guests spent with the magnificent creatures. Apart from letting guests choose a certain photography style, Inah also shares his suggestions for various positions and camera angles. As a result, his shark photography in Fuvahmulah appears splendid and has received recognition and high praise from guests.
When it comes to photo editing, Inah uses DaVinci Resolve, prioritizing cinematic quality and storytelling. He shares finished work to our guests via Google Drive, making it easy for guests to access and download their memories. His advice to aspiring underwater photographers? “Be a good diver- it is not about the camera”.
Saarim – Adaptability Meets Creativity
Saarim brings versatility to the table, shooting with the Sony A7 IV, a trusted camera for dynamic and diverse content. He categorizes his style as a little bit of everything. In order to do so, he adapts based on the client, the location, and the story that is unfolding in real time.
He emphasises reading the situation and understanding the layout of what he is shooting. Whether it is land photography or underwater photoshoots in Fuvahmulah, Saarim focuses on making the subjects feel at ease, capturing the best version of the moment. Spontaneity coupled with candid captures allows him to produce incredible photographs. Moreover, Saarim does not only specialise in underwater photoshoots in Fuvahmulah. On top of that, he takes photos of special events, nature landscapes, event coverages and many others. A hobby that has developed into professional work, Saarim is now recognised for his splendid Fuvahmulah photoshoot projects.
His editing process includes a mix of Lightroom, Photoshop, and DaVinci, allowing him to fine-tune lighting, colour, and detail with expert precision. His creative philosophy centers on mastering the basics of light, composition, and storytelling as they are the foundations of what makes a good photo.
