UWP: FILIPPO SUBEGOIST

FILIPPO SUBEGOIST
I started to dive in 1982 at just 12 years with a course at the Sub Gian Blacks in Rimini. With just the first degree Fipsas I began to experiment in photography using the Nikonos IV lent to me by my uncle. 
After two years I had my Nikonos V and the desire to show the world what I admired during my dives. 
The underwater career progressed, eighteen are instructor Federal Fipsas M1 and Federal Commissioner today. During all this time the commitment with the courses and the photograph has been so often passed on the second floor. 
With the advent of digital photography has taken over the flame of force, in the last four years I have collected more than twelve shots. 
The aim, however, has remained what it was when I was young. The first thing you need to click for me, to be able to relive that dive several times, and then serves to show what fantastic underwater world offers us.

I started diving 2004 in Similan islands, Thailand. The first dive after the course we saw 5 manta rays and a Zebra shark swimming just a few meters away. I had a rental SeaLife film camera with me on that dive with 24 frames to shoot. The images looked absolutely stunning to me then. That was the moment I got hooked on underwater photography. I later realised that I would not see several mantas on every dive and the pictures were not that good..

10 years and a few hundred dives later I find myself still as passionate about underwater photography as I was when I started. I find myself running worldwide phototrips from Finland aimed for UW photographers. At the moment I shoot with Canon 7D and mainly Tokina 10-17. I use Subal housing with Ikelite on and off camera strobes.

The images that please me the most are wide angle and split shots. I like to shoot divers on different underwater backrounds. Especially with 50/50 shots you can capture best parts of both worlds."
