1 I discovered the power of pictures andstorytelling in my study of sharks and sturgeon. Isaw that photos and videos could speak to peoplemore than graphs and numbers. These images helpthem see and feel connected to the hidden worldsof different creatures and places in nature.

2 My mission is to use pictures to show theworld the beings we share our Earth with and to tell everyone that we must protect ourplanet. Here are some simple tips for taking pictures and videos underwater.

3 Use any tool you have. Don't think small of what you can use： a phone， an actioncamera， a big camera， or even drawing and writing. Record sounds too. They can be reallypowerful.

4 Move around and get close. Don't stay in one place. Moving might give you a betterview or let you see something new， like an animal that might be hiding. Being on the samelevel as an animal and using special close?up lenses can make them seem more real andshow their personality.

5 Try using action cameras. The best thing about action cameras is that they work evenwhen I'm not there. I can put them in places where something interesting might happen. IfI try to film underwater with big cameras， the noise and the bubbles can scare away theanimals. Small cameras that I leave in places don't scare the animals and they act naturally.

6 Don't forget your smartphone. I bring two phones： one to use and the other as acamera only. Phones are great for taking pictures and high?quality 4K videos， especially thekind everybody wants to see now， which fill the whole screen when you hold your phone up.You can get a stand for phones that's good for taking pictures over time or in slow motion.You can even get a special case to take your phone into the water， but be careful because itmight leak. Always save your pictures and videos as soon as possible. Happy shooting！
