UNDERWATER PHOTOGRAPHY + MOTION Feb 2018

Ronny Kiaulehn was born in a little town near Munich, Germany in 1968 and now lives between Munich and Milan. He speciallises in outdoor, sports and lifestyle photography. Featured in this Spotlight is a range of his underwater photography.

“I love to create my own lighting, that‘s why I work with battery studio flash units most of the time when I do outdoor and action photography. I like the challenge of setting up my studio set also under really difficult conditions, like carrying 50kg of lighting equipment up a mountain to do some action shots for a mountain bike client.

When I decided to get into underwater photography, it was clear to me that I wanted to adapt the same lighting techniques I use above water. I enjoy the underwater shoots most because they need a lot more planning, preparation and skills. They are not as predictable as studio or outdoor shoots, but this is what makes them very special and a real challenge.”

Ronny's clients include Cube Bikes, Bosch, Bora, Garmin, Erdinger Alkoholfrei, MAN, Naish, Boards and More, Felt Bikes and Delius Klasing Verlag, among others.
