The digital age has made underwater photojournalism more accessible than ever and Joseph Tepper will take you through everything it takes to get published: the photography, the writing and even how to how to put it all together. As journalism continues to morph into a multi-media industry the ability to shoot, write and edit assignments will help separate you from the rest of the crowd. Joseph will even give you tips for writing great “query letters” or “pitches” that will grab the attention of editors and make your work more publishable.

Matt travelled to more than 10 top underwater photography and diving destinations in 2011. He will take a look back at the amazing year of diving while also exploring the less glamorous side of travel journalism. Every once in a while everything turns out perfectly, but more often bad visibility, inclement weather, or uncooperative wildlife make the task difficult. However, its during these difficult situations that you are forced to think differently – and that’s when the most interesting experiences can happen.
