SEACAM
Pro­fes­sio­nals

For years, we’ve relied on the feedback and col­la­bo­ra­ti­on of pho­to­graph­ers and creative pro­fes­sio­nals around the world. They support SEACAM with their com­mit­ment and work under water in a variety of ways – as pro­fes­sio­nal pho­to­graph­ers, film­ma­kers, trip and workshop leaders, envi­ron­men­tal activists, and much more. On this page, we’d like to introduce you to our SEACAM Professionals.

Martin Strmiska

Although Martin has worked full-time as an under­wa­ter pho­to­grapher and jour­na­list since 2005, and has completed thousands of dives in a wide variety of envi­ron­ments, he remains fasci­na­ted by the emotions expe­ri­en­ced under­wa­ter. After some time, his curiosity extended beyond recrea­tio­nal diving, and he began docu­men­ting stories from the world of technical diving; even­tual­ly getting certified as a cave‑, rebreather‑, and advanced trimix diver. Wide-angle pho­to­gra­phy is Martin’s preferred disci­pli­ne – and there he con­stant­ly seeks (and finds) new ways to capture unique lighting and spec­ta­cu­lar scenes.

In 2025, drawing on decades of expe­ri­ence, he launched the SEACAM Photo School — a compact online library for motivated pho­to­graph­ers looking to master new skills and refine their technique.

Heinz-Erich Zappel

Heinz Erich is a pas­sio­na­te fresh water pho­to­grapher, always ready to capture the fasci­na­ting beauty of our home waters – and creative macro pho­to­gra­phy is his specialty. His statement “Makro geht immer” (EN: Macro always works) became so popular it developed into an inter­na­tio­nal facebook community and a workshop series, where inte­res­ted pho­to­graph­ers can discover the beauty of fresh water and improve their craft.

“I trust in SEACAM because the relia­bi­li­ty of my system allows me to freely give myself to the fasci­na­ting under­wa­ter world and the creative aspects of photography.”
