Kenneth Corben: Notes from the Field

Sharks, mermaids, impossible shots, and hard-earned lessons from a lifetime behind the lens.

I’m Kenneth Corben, underwater filmmaker, cinematographer, explorer and storyteller. My love for the ocean began as a child watching Jacques Cousteau. Since then, the camera has taken me from the Bering Sea to deep ocean expeditions, from Hollywood action units to the strange, beautiful frontier of real underwater mythology.

This channel opens the vault: Notes from the Field, Shark Tails, Anatomy of a Shoot, Wild Mermaids, ocean conservation stories, and lessons for emerging filmmakers.

These are the stories behind the shots. Surviving the storms, risks and mistakes for discoveries, and moments that still matter.
