Alberto Romeo Profile

Alberto Romeo

I am from Italy
Member since: Saturday, February 7, 2009
I was born in Palermo, Italy in 1948. I am u/w photographer since 1965. In 1973 I founded the Underwater Team of Photographers, that I served as President for 20 years, today I am Honorary-Founding President.
In 1984 I was the first Italian champion of underwater photography.
My favorite photo dive sites are Mediterranan Sea and Red Sea.
Since 1990's I used Calypso and Nikonos system, after also Nikon 801s with various housings and lens+Ikelite strobes; from 2005 I begin to use also digital cameras like Nikon Coolpix 5000 in SEA&SEEA housing+strobes; now I use Nikon D-70s, D-60, D-90 + 10,5 - 60macro - 18/50 lens with Hughy, Underwawe, Sea&Sea housings+Ikelite, Sea&Sea and Subtronic strobes and Sealife D-800 for apnea diving.
I am very interested in the history of undervater activities; in 2009 I published both in italian and in english the book
"The History of Underwater Photography and Cinematography in Italy".
