Some of the most challenging and rewarding light you'll ever photograph lives behind glass. This evening workshop takes place during Glow Nights at the Georgia Aquarium, where bioluminescent displays, neon-lit tanks, and the slow drift of jellyfish and rays create a photographer's playground unlike anything you'll find on dry land.

We'll focus on the specific skills that make underwater and low-light phone photography sing. You'll learn how to lock focus and exposure on moving subjects, reduce the glare and reflection that glass tanks create, and work with colored ambient light to build images that feel immersive rather than murky. Jellyfish tunnels and open ocean exhibits offer stunning opportunities to practice shooting translucent subjects in motion — a skill that sharpens your instincts for timing and patience.

Composition takes on a different character in an aquarium. We'll explore how to use the natural geometry of tanks and tunnels, the layering of foreground and background marine life, and the glow of the water itself as a compositional tool rather than an obstacle.
