This video tutorial shows you how to create black backgrounds in underwater macro photos, along with minimizing backscatter. No special gear is required - just some basic techniques and knowledge.

Contrary to intuition, we can shoot black backgrounds underwater in the middle of the day. The secret lies in composing your subject with open water in the background, careful lighting, and some other adjustments I share in the video.

I use many of the black background graphics in this presentation during photo workshop presentations, so you can think of this video as a personal one-on-one workshop.
