The Underwater Studio
-
The Underwater studio is owned and run by Underwater Photographer Dee Thorogood. Dee is a fully qualified swim teacher and PADI scuba diving instructor and has been bobbing around in the water since childhood. A former sussex swimmer and swimming scholarship student to University in the USA Dee finds real peace under the water and captures this in her images.
Underwater photography is quite often very expensive but Dee believes that everyone should have the chance to come along and strives to keep prices as low as possible. The Underwater Studio is now well into its fourth year and has shoot locations located in Eastbourne, Uckfield, Brighton, Staplecross, Hastings, Wilmington, Rye, Lewes, Newhaven, Seaford, Burgess hill.
Sessions for children are 30 min long and have a maximum of 5 little ones. The emphasis is on fun and if your little one has had enough then we call it a day. We do offer a free re-shoot if things do not go your way*.
The Underwater Studio are offering a fantastic 10% off all print prices until easter and you can qualify for one free 8"x6" print per booking if you order any product within 2 weeks of your shoot date.

Antonia, Mum of 2, (Jake 14 & Leah 10)
I have worked with Dee on and off for over 3 years now. I am an infant swimming teacher and when requested, I help her out during the photo sessions, handling and looking after the babies in the water. Dee is a wonderful lady and is always very positive and reassuring to the children and the parents. She always manages to achieve the pictures the parents really want and the quality is brilliant.

Dee was recommended to me by a friend and I am so pleased she was. I am a swimming teacher and at the end of term we like to have photos taken for the parents and she also does some film work for us too. Dee always manages to get fantastic photos amid the chaos of the pool and makes it fun and relaxing at the same time. We try and work with Dee as often as we can and having worked with other photographers, Dee is the only person I would recommend every time.

Mum of two, eastbourne
We have done a number of shoots with Dee with our two children from 4 months old to 5 years of age. She always gets the best out of them, making the sessions fun for all involved. My daughter especially liked dressing up as a mermaid. The results have been fantastic, with treasured memories captured on print.

Mum of 2 gorgeous kiddies Lani age 5 and Koby age 6. I would live on the water if i could!. I have travelled the world ...(pre children!!) going to The University of Louisiana USA in 1997 on a swimming scholarship and graduating with BSc in Kinesiology with a minor in exercise science. I then went on to Thailand to become a scuba diving instructor. I landed my first teaching Job in Port Douglas, Queensland, Australia working on the Great Barrier reef everyday......what a dream!. I then lived in Fremantle perth Western Australia and working with Perth Diving academy before going to Malaysia and finally home. I teach scuba diving in england and am also a qualified swim teacher. I adore my job in every way ...ok so maybe not the hours of editing! ;-). I get to meet new bundles of life every week and be part of their underwater experience. How much better than that does it get. See you underwater. xx

I first met Dee about 4 years ago. We have worked on many different ventures together and now she has become my in house photographer for the swim school. Dee is such a lovely lady, full of positivity and energy that the kids and parents both love. She is very passionate at what she does and that always comes across in her work.
