SUBAL Is Sponsoring the #Seagull Project

LYG_1700UW video for the #Seagull_Flight project we will shoot with Nikon D750 camera, the newest housing for which is sponsored us by the SUBAL company.
PHOTOTEAM.PRO has a long friendship with the company: we work together since 2011, and since then all my underwater pictures you have seen, were made in SUBAL housings.
This is the best thing on the market of equipment for underwater photographers; a SUBAL housing is not just reliable, it is able to withstand the toughest conditions, it is very convenient for shooting in both warm and cold water, when there are thick gloves on photographer’s hands; it is made with the highest quality and thought out to the smallest detail.
SUBAL is bright minds of young engineers and precise hands of experienced Austrian craftsmen. SUBAL is made in the heart of Europe.

#Seagull Project is Announced!

#Seagull is a project of freedom, finding oneself, about life after death and love conquering death.
Princess of Whales

Freedom, love and flight – it’s hard to say how they are related, but somehow the simple words excite all the people of our planet. They make us dream, make our hearts run faster, this is something that is worth living.

Our project is named #Seagull. Seagull is not just a bird, it is a symbol of struggle, symbol of soul, connection between the worlds, a personification of grief and happiness. It is Jonathan Livingston Seagull flying from the parable by Richard Bach; it is the Stormy Petrel by Maxim Gorky. It is a story of difficult obstacles, intractable obstacles, the will, desire, and feelings of a person who wins what cannot be beat. Continue reading
