Underwater Portrait Photography Code of Conduct

Above all else, safety is number 1. Nothing can ruin the reputation of an underwater photography business faster than someone getting hurt. Not just the safety of your clients, but your team, yourself, and the people around you. Being safe means being prepared for any and all situations that can arise. Through proper training, preparation, and practice, you can show your commitment.

Without clients, your business cannot exist. They are the reason you can continue to create artistic works, build a following, and thrive as a small business owner. Your commitment to them means you will treat them with respect, value their ideas, input, and feedback, and always be looking for ways to improve your relationships with them.

As a business owner, you know you cannot do it all on your own. Your team is what keeps the engine running while you steer the ship. They deserve your respect, your time, and your patience. If you commit to your team, they will follow you anywhere and share in the pride as your business grows.

Authenticity is what lets people know who the real you is. In everything you do, be sure to show your genuine emotion, your empathy, and your compassion. Put forward the best person you can be and strive to connect with your clients and your team on a deeper level.

The level of professionalism you portray is a key indicator of the quality and standards of your work. Showing a high level of professionalism will attract like minded individuals. Collaboration is nothing without a professional relationship built on mutual respect, partnership, and growth.
