ABOUT THE SPEAKERS:

Joel and Jennifer Penner are the owners of NEWMEDIASOUP LLC, a multimedia company based in Oakland, CA. While their topside work focuses on

design and development for the web, app design and development for iPad/iPhone, architectural photography and performing arts video, some of their underwater clients include Backscatter Video & Photo, Under Exposures and Lembeh Resort/Critters@Lembeh. Joel as scuba certified in 2006, diving quickly became a passionate hobby for him, and since photography and videography are associated services offered by his company, it was natural that he take a camera with him underwater! Adept at underwater photography and videography, Joel strives to digitally capture sea life and habitats that are both inspiring and captivating.


Jen was also scuba certified in 2006, initially, she had no interest whatsoever in underwater photography. Two years later, that all changed, and now she wouldn't dream of diving without a camera! By sharing her underwater images with family, friends and the general public, Jen's hope is that the awe-inspiring scenery of the underwater world will be noticed and appreciated, and that the importance of conservation of our oceans is recognized to preserve these habitats for future generations.

Joel and Jen are also on staff at The Digital Shootout, an annual, week-long workshop for underwater photographers, designed to take one's skills to the next level.
