Justin Bastien Gets The Perfect Underwater Shot w/ Freediver Kimi Werner | Project: Behind the Lens

In partnership with Vans UltraRange we're stoked to bring you behind the lens of adventure photographer Justin Bastien and his jaw-dropping images in one of the most challenging environments. Episode 1 of this 3 part series follows Bastien and freediver Kimi Werner as they journey across the island of Kauai in search of the perfect underwater shot, as we learn just how far photographers are willing to go - physically, emotionally, and spiritually - for the perfect shot.

As a photographer, you know you've arrived when you have your own photographer.

[@24jocker]

I feel so good when i see people who enjoy their jobs you know, always smiling and happy about working as a team with new partners.

[@anacarpenter9254]

Living in New Zealand well it is 2021 now and seeing this window of Kimi Werner back in 2017 with photographer Justin not her husband is that right. Awe Awesome shots she is poetry in motion, from then till now. Cu Ana

[@biondoialendi2441]

Bello,bello bellloooo!!!

[@TommyPlesky]

Are you seriously not going to show the pictures he took?..... Fail.

[@simon.annies]

did you seriously not watch until the end of the video before making this comment?

[@TommyPlesky]

There is only one shot, and not even on the video itself. It's at the end, where the video is finished... The whole video is about the photograph, and we don't get to see it while they are talking about it.

[@oliverkeys5844]

This is a paid promotion so it means u have to search her up and look at the pictures taken

[@redbull]

[@garrl007]

Yeah you can pretty much skip to @03:00 before the good stuff starts.

[@paulyd1110]

Pretty much an ad for Vans

[@ktravels4817]

If you only saw the photos the The Bucketlist Family took during their dive with humpbacks in tonga

[@UWRZoneTheCurrent]

Not bad of a life :)

[@ianyapxw]

Someone must have did B cam right? That means there were (at least) 3 people on this trip.

[@benjaminrennicke]

big sratch at 4:07 .. that dirty scratched dome would have pissed me off as a photographer

[@JohnBarrow1961]

We don't get to see the pics?

[@kylegrey6363]

who was filming Justin filming Kimi?

[@EloEast]

Is this vans commercial?

[@Frutonica]

Someone didn't clean their lens housing....

[@otnielfernandez768]

[@underthewater_]

Why does all this creative energy go into making what's basically an elaborate ad? I don't understand it, it just taints the experience for me. I can appreciate what happens in the video for sure, but there's so much untapped potential when you're not weighed down with pushing a product... I'd appreciate an untainted video more, with a simple splash screen 'Sponsored by ____', then I would be impressed.

[@ianyapxw]

I kinda disagree with you. "Creative energy" isn't able to express itself all the time and someone needs to fund the project. I'm perfectly fine with these kinds of projects, and would rather see those than more superbowl ads (which I'm sure had bigger budgets anyway)

This is where Logan Paul took one of his Instagram picks

i dont think skinny girls have the body to make underwater photos sensical. you never see skinny girls above ground taking photos on insta being fit is a requirement underwater. but people seem to forget that.
