Presentation by:
Mr Vandit Kalia

From staying for a month at the base of an active volcano, to diving in the middle of sharks feeding on byproducts from a fish factory, Vandit Kalia spends a lot of time each year chasing unique underwater images.  In this talk, he shares some of his favourite images across various genres of underwater photography,  the techniques/equipment used to achieve those images and how trying to make those images helped him connect more deeply with the magic of the underwater world.
