My Portfolio

by Samantha Bean

 

I have been diving for about 7 years and it was the fantastic underwater world that moved me to learn how to take images to show my family and friends and to cheer me up on those grey English days.

I am deeply indebted to many wonderful photographers who have generously given me their time and support.  In particular I would thank Martin Edge, Alex Mustard, Jane Morgan and JP Trenque who have helped and inspired me to learn from my horrible early blue images.


Sabre Toothed Blenny © Sam Bean Sabre Toothed Blenny with his rather cheeky grin was photographed in Sipadan using Nikon D70 with 105mm lens, f20 @ 1/60s
Liveaboard crew playing on the mooring line © Sam Bean The fisheye image of two of our liveaboard crew playing on the mooring line was captured in Red Sea using Nikon D70 with 10.5mm lens, f8 @ 1/125s
Yellow moray eel © Sam Bean The snarling yellow moray eel was captured in Sipadan using Nikon D70 with 60mm lens, f25 @ 1/125s.
Orang-utan  crab © Sam Bean Orang-utan crab with hair being blown by the current was captured in Sipadan using Nikon D70 with 60mm lens, f25 @ 1/60s.
