Ich bin Herbert Frei und seit fast 45 Jahren begeisterter professioneller Unterwasserfotograf und Tauchsportjournalist. Diese Art der Fotografie fasziniert mich, weil sie etwas Besonderes ist. Die Stille und Schwerelosigkeit im Wasser, lassen es zu, sich vollkommen auf die exklusive Unterwasserwelt zu konzentrieren.
1973 fuhr ich mit meiner Frau Helma und einem alten VW-Bus inklusive zweier mit Pressluft gefüllter Tauchflaschen ans Rote Meer nach Jordanien. Meine Frau ist bei den Reisen meine stetige Begleiterin, trägt meistens eine Zweitkamera und ist zuhause für die Bildbearbeitung zuständig. Das Tauchabenteuer am Roten Meer war zusammen mit einem 1973 im Pforzheimer Tauchclub gezeigten Diavortrag, bei dem nur ein Unterwasserbild richtig scharf war, die Initialzündung, mit der Unterwasser-Fotografie zu beginnen und es besser machen zu wollen. Daher entschloss ich mich, in ein Unterwassergehäuse für meine eigene Kamera zu investieren um selber hochwertige Bilder zu schießen.
Seit dem habe ich über 30 Bücher zur Unterwasserwelt veröffentlicht und als freier Mitarbeiter der Magazine Tauchen, Sporttaucher und Divemaster publiziere ich regelmäßig über News und Kameras zur Unterwasser-Fotografie. Ich arbeite inzwischen seit vielen Jahren privat und beruflich mit Olympus-Kameras. Insbesondere die Zuverlässigkeit, die hochwertigen Objektive und die praktischen Accessoires zur Unterwasser-Fotografie haben es mir angetan

I am Herbert Frei and I have been enthusiastic professional underwater photographer and dive-sport journalist for almost 45 years now. This kind of photography amazes me the most because it is something special. The silence and weightlessness in the water totally let me focus on the exclusive underwater world.
In 1973 my wife Helma and I travelled to the Red Sea in Jordan in our old VW camper van – including two filled scuba tanks. My wife is my constant travel companion. She usually carries a second camera and is responsible for the photo editing after our trips. When we prepared our little diving adventure in Jordan, we visited a slide show in Pforzheim, Germany and saw exactly one sharp picture there. That was the initial impulse for me to start my passion and do it better. Therefore, I decided to invest in an underwater housing for my own camera to get high quality images myself.
Since then I have published more than 30 books about the fascinating underwater world and my pictures have been published in a variety of different magazines. Both in private and professionally, I have been working with Olympus cameras for many years now. The high-quality lenses and the useful accessories for underwater photography really proved me right to be with Olympus for all this time.
