The world beneath the water as seen from the lens of underwater photographer and cinematographer Sumer Verma
Around two decades ago, Sumer Verma along with a bunch of friends decided to pursue a diving course. When he went inside the water, he fell in love with the beautiful aquatic life, so much so that he decided to pursue it as a career. Today, he is considered as India’s first underwater photographer and cinematographer. A pioneer in the world of underwater, he is the man behind shooting Sameera Reddy’s maternity shoot as well as the underwater sequence of The Sky Is Pink.
Meet Sumer Verma, India’s leading underwater photographer & cinematographer. He is the person behind Sameera Reddy’s underwater maternity shoot. Let's look at some of his pictures:

He also shot Rajan, the swimming elephant. He says, it was surreal to swim alongside a fully grown elephant with huge tusks in the Bay of Bengal.
