This week we’re joined by William Drumm, an incredible underwater photographer whose work captures the surreal beauty of life beneath the surface. William takes us through his journey into underwater photography, the challenges of turning such a unique craft into a career, and the preparation that goes into every shoot. From equipment to safety to directing talent underwater.


We dive into his unforgettable experience shooting Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft album cover, exploring what it was like on set with Billie, the collaboration that made it possible, and the post-production that brought it to life. William also opens up about what happened next, how that project shaped his career, and why balancing the creative and business sides of photography is essential.
