If you’ve been following DPG Masters over the years (and why wouldn’t you be?), you may know that there was one photographer who bagged the “Best of Show” twice in succession—in 2021 and 2022—for incredible black-and-white photos of Mexican cenotes. But there’s probably a few things you don’t know about Martin Broen. For one thing, he doesn’t only take prize-winning pictures of submerged caves: He’s received 50-plus awards for everything from wrecks and wildlife to macro. For another, he doesn’t just take pictures: He’s the designer of hundreds of innovative products and holds more than 130 innovation patents!

In other words, Martin is a fantastic person to have a chat with, and that’s exactly what Nicolas Remy, host of The Underwater Club (TUC), will be doing for his next Masterclass event. During the two-hour webinar, Martin will—of course—be talking about his amazing panorama, cave, wreck, and wildlife imagery, but he’ll also be discussing how problem-solving skills help to creatively tackle unique challenges in underwater photography. In addition, Nicolas will be finding out what Martin learned from his first foray into publishing, after the success of his cenote-focused coffee-table book Light in the Underworld.

As usual, TUC members join for free, while non-members will need to purchase tickets to the event at AU$49 (approx. US$35). Note that this is also the price of monthly membership, so this is the perfect opportunity to join the club and take advantage of all of the membership benefits.
