Leo Clifford Underwater Photography

Meet the photographer

I’m Leo — an underwater photographer with 15 years of experience working in ocean and pool environments. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll usually find me surfing, playing guitar, travelling to explore different cultures, or spending time with my son. The ocean, nature, and adventure have always been central to my story. From diving in the Persian Gulf and road-tripping from Shiraz to Tehran, to exploring the Galápagos Islands and summiting Mount Cotopaxi in Ecuador, these experiences continue to influence how I work and what I create. I work with people of all comfort levels in the water, creating a relaxed, guided experience that delivers natural, striking results and lasting memories. I offer a underwater photography experiences based in Sydney. They're for anyone — whether you’re completely at home in the water or stepping outside your comfort zone. For maternity I offer shoots that capture the moment across land, sea/pool, and air. Each session combines three core elements: A unique underwater portrait session (ocean or heated pool), capturing natural movement, light, and form beneath the surface A land-based maternity shoot, using a clean, natural outdoor style A signature landscape portrait, I take you to a carefully chosen coastal location and create a wider, environmental image that places you within the scene This is a standout piece, designed to be printed and framed — something you’d hang on your wall.
