The Raja Ampat is known to be an
underwater imaging hot-spot,
and to this end, Claudia and Leon operate the only dedicated professional Underwater
Imaging Studio in the Raja Ampat, as the resident team
of professionals. The Studio Seacam approved -
offering Seacam rentals and product advice for still imaging, and Gates approved, for
Gates rentals and product advice for video imaging. Conveniently located for ease of equipment storage and
preparation, photo/video work sessions or presentations, the Imaging Studio is
air conditioned, climate controlled to suit electronics and sensitive
equipment. Spacious and organised, the Imaging Studio is ideal for guests
with all levels/sizes of camera gear, with individual set-up stations with
necessary cleaning kits, tools, battery charging area and plug points. The resident pros utilise two state-of-the-art Imacs, 21.5"
and a 24", for individualised review sessions, workshops and classes fully
loaded with the latest versions of post production processing software required
for stills and video. Wi-Fi internet is available in the Studio for guests
using laptops or other imaging devices.
State-of-the-art rental systems are available for all levels of
photography and videography, plus a wide range of Imaging Services
are on offer by the resident pros adding value to
divers bringing their own imaging equipment, or those wishing to learn or
improve their skills. Services can also be specially customised to the specific needs of
those merely wishing to 'refine' aspects of their photography or videography. Imaging enthusiasts have the use of a dedicated 'camera taxi'
for ease of transportation of their equipment to and from the jetty, studio or
bungalow, and each dive boat is equipped with a dedicated padded camera crate. A library of imaging and
marine guides is available in the Studio, as well as a coffee station, offering
specialty coffees on the house with any Imaging Service purchased.
