Leigh's fine art prints are available through Less Than Half, a global art collector platform. In 2026 she presented Underwater Altars in the Less Than Half and Rise & Repaint Artist Showcase, walking collectors through the making of the series. Read the showcase feature on Less Than Half.

Leigh Webber served as Artist in Residence at Montage Palmetto Bluff in collaboration with Garden & Gun. For one week she lived and worked in the property's artist cottage in the South Carolina Lowcountry, leading photography classes for guests and hanging her work throughout the cottage, turning the residence itself into the exhibition. The format suited her: teaching people to see, in a house full of pictures, on a piece of land shaped by water. See the Garden & Gun residency page.

Leigh Webber served as Artist in Residence at The Charleston Place, bringing her underwater photography to one of the city's landmark hotels. The residency included an exhibition of her fine art work, a class on underwater photography for guests, and live underwater portrait sessions in the hotel pool, inviting guests to step into the work rather than just look at it. Read the Post and Courier story on the residency.

The Ruby Hour podcast, March 2020

A 48-minute conversation about the world of underwater photography: how a childhood love of water turned into a business, what it takes to work with first-timers in a pool, and why shooting underwater means adapting to conditions that change every few seconds. Listen to the episode.

Traveling to Harbour Island in the Bahamas to photograph Wiggy Hindmarch's beautiful home there for You Magazine was definitely a highlight of my summer! Getting to work with my favorite interiors photo stylist Kendra Surface was the cherry on top.

Dive In and listen to my first podcast interview! I was definitely nervous, but absolutely loved talking with Julie and Stacey of A Salty Rim for their GSD Entrepreneur Podcast!

"Leigh Webber is just an interesting human with a fascinating company. She sees the majority of life through her lens, literally, and turns photography into true works of art. She founded a business called Dive In by Leigh Webber, where she’s focused on capturing the beautiful moments of life underwater. Her career in photography started by becoming known as the wedding photographer in Charleston, and she’s now expanded her horizons to become known as the underwater photographer in Charleston and beyond. She’s shot BURU, Carve, products, and families on vacation and models while in the Caribbean, to name just a few highlights. Leigh works hard every day to marry happy moments with the psychology of that moment as she captures images that are breathtaking and conversation starters."

I'm thrilled to be listed as one of Garden & Gun's top 25 Southerners to Follow on Instagram!

"@Leighwebber The name Leigh Webber graced the pages of Garden & Gun’s latest Lakes issue, so you’re probably familiar with the South Carolina resident’s talent and eye for underwater photos. Her images will cool you off—even when the air conditioning and an iced sweet tea can’t seem to offer relief from the summer heat."

Traveling to Lake Jocassee on assignment for Garden & Gun was one of the highlights from last year.

Canoeing, waterfalls, and cliff jumping all piled into one glorious weekend in the mountains of SC.

Read more about it in the June/July issue of Garden & Gun!

Thank you for this wonderful write up, Post & Courier!

Leigh Webber wants you to jump, swim and dive in

By Scott Elingburg Special to The Post and Courier

Water creates its own metaphors. If you look and listen closely, you don’t have to work too hard to identify the metaphors; they happen naturally. And, usually, when they do, Leigh Webber is there to capture it with her camera.

"There are a lot of metaphors you can use with water,” Webber says. “And there’s a lot of psychology that goes into photographing people, too. Just in terms of getting them to do what you want them to do for your picture.”

Combining the two elements, water and people, is what Webber has done for a new series of underwater photographs, Dive In. And the combination has stirred up a new creativity in her work.

"This is probably the most artistic thing I’ve done,” she says. "It’s a whole new environment, which makes it fun."

A Savannah College of Art and Design graduate and self-described “working photographer,” Webber has been photographing weddings and families for years working with digital photography before discovering the realm of underwater photography about three years ago.

I am thrilled to be featured as the "Arts Profile" for the May 2018 issue of Charleston Magazine!

Though I have photographed for Charleston Magazine many times over the years, this is the first time that I have been on the other side of the camera for them.

I feel very honored to have "Dive In" featured as well as my upcoming show at @fritzporterchs & my desire to do “something big” (and awesome) for @spoletofestivalusa in the future!

I was lucky enough to travel to Harbour Island in the Bahamas in early April for a photoshoot with Wiggy Kit, a resort wear line out of London.

Wiggy herself is wonderfully creative. She is a positive force with excellent style and her line of resort wear reflects that.

These behind the scenes photos are from her blog!

It's always a thrill to have a promo featured on @APhotoEditor, moderated by Rob Haggart. This is my 2017 calendar that my 6-year-old son Seamus and I made together. "He built them & I photographed them"!

Established December 28, 1748, the Charleston Library Society is one of the oldest libraries in the United States. I was thrilled to be asked to photograph their guest of honor, Julian Fellowes, who was most gracious and entertaining, on his grand tour of Charleston, SC!

From Town & Country: "The Oscar and Emmy award-winning creator of Downton Abbey will be the guest of honour at the series of events, which include an evening of conversation on 11 January and a literary luncheon on 12 January. Proceeds from all ticket sales will help fund the Charleston to Charleston Literary Festival, whose format will be modelled on the annual event in Sussex. Authors from all around the world will gather in South Carolina to discuss their works, sign books and meet readers for a truly international celebration of creativity and the blossoming of ideas."

It's an exciting week! Julian Fellowes is coming to Charleston and I'll be covering him for several days as he makes his tour of Charleston, put on by the Charleston Library Society.

Thank you to Town & Country UK for highlighting Charleston and his visit for us!

It's always fun to see my photos in use! Last summer, I photographed the RESORT 17' Bumby Collection for Marysia here in Charleston. We did photos on land and underwater.

We were lucky enough to shoot at two adjacent houses on Sullivan's Island that each has their own pool. Kids + 2 pools! + fashion = it doesn't get any more fun than this!

There are only a few more weeks to enjoy the small works show, "Take Home Charleston" at Gallery 26 at the Vendue here in Charleston, SC. I'm so honored to be included in their show along with so many other artists I admire including one of my favorite painters, "Fred".

I love seeing the "Palm at City Hall" photo, which I took in downtown Charleston during Hurricane Matthew, being used in the latest issue of Garden & Gun.

You can buy a copy of the print here and support the Historic Charleston Foundation at the same time!

As someone who is used to being behind the camera and not in front of it, my first TV appearance was a little nerve-racking. But in all honesty, it was more exciting than anything.

I was flattered to be asked to come on and talk about the photos I'd taken here in Charleston during Hurricane Matthew.

You can see the full segment here: Lowcountry Live : TV Debut

Proceeds from the fine art prints I am selling will go to benefit the Historic Charleston Foundation. Prices start at $150 and you can purchase them at shop.leighwebber.com.

"86 cheese biscuits for Matthew". I love the humor that Nick's BBQ brought to their storm prep for Hurricane Matthew. Thank you to the Charleston City Paper for using my photo on the cover and including more photos from my series in the latest issue.

Thank you to Garden & Gun for the feature of my photos, "Hurricane Matthew: Dispatch from Downtown Charleston" both on their website and in their weekly newsletter, "Talk of the South".

I love that they used the photo of the palm tree in front of the Charleston court house on Broad Street. The palm is the symbol for the state of South Carolina and this photo feels very iconic to how Charleston has stood strong over the years.

Four select photos from this series are available as limited edition fine art prints. The proceeds will go to benefit the Historic Charleston Foundation for repairs caused by Hurricane Matthew.
