Regardless, it was still a fun activity to do and the staff was nice. The interior is also relatively neat and I liked the decor. I'm unsure if I would come back here, but would maybe since it's the only one of it's kind in the Culver area and I may be in the mood to document with company for the day.

I was new to underwater photo/video and felt completely overwhelmed at all of the available camera…read moreset ups that are available. I found Bluewater Photo and initially they were very helpful and answered all my questions, eventually helping me put together a full kit (housing, lights, ports, etc.) I was helped by Tommy who offered to set up a zoom call with me once I received my equipment to show me how to put it together and how to take care of it. As soon as I paid for the equipment, it was impossible to get ahold of anyone. I reached out several times to try to set up this promised zoom call and never got a response. I ordered in March 2020, so the equipment sat in boxes until April 2021. When I finally had the opportunity to use it, I discovered that I was sold the wrong focus gear for my lens (which was also sold to me by Bluewater so there's no chance that they didn't know which lens I had) and that there was sand in my housing. I purchased what I was told was a very gently used housing that they had used a few times in house to shoot a couple of demos. When I reached out, they did send me the correct focus gear free of charge and they apologized for the sand in the housing but weren't able to offer any logical explanation as to how this would have happened to begin with. By this point I had already decided I would not do business with them again, but the reason why I am now writing this review after so many months is because the buttons on my housing are not working. They were always tenuous at best, but now most of them do not function at all. I have used this set up maybe ~20 times since April of this year and have been meticulous about cleaning and caring for it in between dives. I believe that Bluewater Photo took advantage of a customer who was new to the industry and sold me poorly maintained equipment because they felt they could get away with it. I cannot recommend Bluewater Photo less. They only want your money - customer service and quality sales are not their priority. Underwater camera equipment is such a massive investment. Don't make the same mistakes that I and others have, and be sure to purchase through a different company.

I have never had such an easy shoot! Vince opened his beautiful home to me which made me feel very comfortable and at ease. Not only was the location stellar, he suggested a wonderful make-up artist to hire and Yvette was just fantastic! I was also able to quickly see my photos right after the shoot! He works diligently and is honest with which shots suite you best. Vince is a wonderful soul who takes immense pride in his work. It was such a joy to work with him. I would (and will) go back in a heart beat! It is the first time that I have ever had the pleasure of having the good problem of which exquisite photos to use. Thank you, Vince. You are such a talent! I cannot wait to work with you again. :)

WOW!!!!!! I heart Vince... He's the real deal, peeps…read more I scheduled a 1.5-hour shoot with Vince yesterday and met him at his on-location site in Culver City. The outdoor area is beautiful with incredible natural light that Vince took full advantage of... 1.5 hours later, I had 2 burned CD's with 300+ images with 5 different outfit changes (I change fast haha :P ). I was blown away as we were looking at the raw images on Vince's Mac after the shoot. He is insanely talented with a true gift for bringing out the beauty in your core self... I'm normally not too comfortable in front of the camera but Vince made it easy and super fun with creative pose suggestions and helpful hints (i.e. sweet reminders to tuck in my tummy every so often, ha!). Vince has wonderful energy! Light, bright, sweet, fun, creative, and incredibly knowledgable of the art form. I researched him beforehand and saw that he's shot Snoop, Kim K., and a bunch of other celebs and musicians and am honored to have had the incredible opportunity to shoot with him as well. I HIGHLY recommend Vince to anyone interested in learning how to be an extraordinary photographer (he teaches classes and runs seminars on photoshop, shooting, etc.), anyone looking for amazing pictures (headshots, etc.) or video, and to everyone looking to be inspired by creating breathtaking images together. Yay for having flattering and beautiful pictures of myself to show my future kids/grandkids one day! Mommy was once young and cute, heh. Having a boy would be helpful for that but there's no rush on that... But I digress. Thank you so much Vince!! I am in awe and appreciation of your talent. I am so grateful we met and hope to have the chance to shoot together again in the near future.

Been renting from Samys for as long as I can remember and I've been continually impressed with…read moretheir dedication to their clientele as well as their reliable gear availability. But I was compelled to write a review after a recent experience with their equally impressive customer service. Here's the skinny... We recently had one of those shoots where nothing went right. My co-shooter broke her leg, my assistant wasn't available, and then the equipment decided to not cooperate. The batteries died, the tilt-shift lenses slipped and the lights malfunctioned. For the record, this has never happened before. Samy's gear is always tops. But for whatever reason, this day was not to be. So... we called because they would normally messenger someone out or bring replacement gear immediately, but unfortunately they were closed by the time we called. So we needed to go overtime on the location in order to salvage the project. Needless to say, when I went to drop the gear off the next day, I was dreading the conversation. It was no one's fault, but still we lost time, money and face with the client on set, so it was important we communicated the situation. Gabe handled it like a champ. He took care of everything and made an otherwise grim situation right again. They didn't have to do that. And most rental houses probably wouldn't, but they did and that matters. Here's to another decade of rentals with Samys! Thanks, guys.

Whether you are looking for lighting, video equipment, or traditional still photography gear, the layout makes sense and the product displays are well put together and easy to browse. The buying process for new gear is efficient. The staff members I spoke with were helpful and clearly knowledgeable about the items in stock, which made the experience smooth. It is definitely a great place to stop by if you want to get your hands on the latest equipment. However, I did have one notable downside regarding their trade-in process. Their valuation for used gear is not competitive compared to other major name-brand companies. In my case, their offer fell short by about $300 to $400 (which was not used retail). When I showed an associate the legitimate competitive offer I had received elsewhere, they simply dismissed it and told me to just go with the other company. It was disappointing to see a lack of willingness to work with a customer who had a documented, better offer. Aside from the trade-in experience, it's a solid shop with a great selection. I would recommend it for new purchases, but you might want to look elsewhere if you are trying to get top dollar for your used equipment.
