I never considered photography before in my life untill 2012, for tyring to shoot the underwater critters, I bought my first camera.
I prefer shooting super macro critters. I always photograph in the depths of such places as the Northeast Coast ,Taiwan ; Anilao, Philippines; Tulamben and Lembeh Strait, Indonesia.
Now I currently shoot with Nikon D800 in Sea&Sea Housing with 2 INON 240 strobes.
I use a Nikkor 60mm and Nauticam SMC-1 for macro.
I enjoy diving and underwater photography as my passion and sharing those most memorable moments and spectacular experiences with my friends are my great pleasure.
YUPING CHEN was born and grew up in Beijing. She works as an attorney for a big law firm since 2000.
In 2009, she took PADI OW course in Phuket(Thailand) during vacation. She was captivated by the sea and marine creatures. Her life has changed from then on.
She took her first underwater picture with a Canon G10 in 2009, just for fun. This small camera had been to many places in the world diving with her.
In the spring of 2014, some underwater photographer friends encouraged her to take UW photographing seriously. She bough her first DSLR - Canon 5 D MarkIII.
As a beginner, she started with learning basic knowledge of photographing. She is trying to think like a photographer, to act like a photographer.The learning process brings a lot of fun to her. She has always really enjoyed and would love to share the wonderful experiences with friends.
