Meet your instructor

Experience you can take underwater.

I’m Lars Stenholt Kirkegaard, underwater photographer, photography educator and founder of FOTOGRAFIT. I’ve been diving since 1989 and photographing underwater since 1991.

My approach is practical: learn how your camera works, practise one technique at a time, and make photographs you’re proud of on your next dive.
