Abstract

Underwater photography is a unique and challenging artistic expression that requires a deep understanding of aesthetic value. By examining the sources provided, including the perspectives of philosophers, photographers and visual artists, as well as scholarly research in literary and cultural criticism, this study aims to explore the complexities of aesthetic value in underwater photography. This study focuses on how artistic value can improve image quality in underwater photography in a discursive manner. Underwater photography requires photographers to apply the basic principles of art and utilise various elements to overcome the challenges of the unique underwater environment. The optical properties of water, such as its limited transparency and the need for artificial lighting, present a challenge to underwater photography. When photographers understand and apply the values of art, they can capture fascinating images that show the beauty and diversity of the underwater world
