Fish Photography Tips

Landing a trophy fish, an exceptionally beautiful fish, or even your first fish is a special occasion that will make you want to share the moment with friends and family. And since a picture says a thousand words, there’s no better way to share your story than with photographs of those remarkable moments you encounter on the water. Here are a few tips on how to take a great photograph of your catch, while keeping the fish safe and healthy, following catch and release guidelines.

Lifestyle Photography Tips

Whether you’re capturing downtime after a day fishing the flats of the Bahamas, or snapping pictures of memorable moments with your new friends on an Alaskan adventure cruise, lifestyle photography forever preserves the pieces of the story which may otherwise be forgotten. With a little practice and knowledge of your camera, your lifestyle photographs will hold up to, or even outshine your action photos from your next adventure trip.

How to Pack Photo Gear for a Trip

If you're not a professional photographer and your trip is as much about the experience (fishing, hunting etc.) as it is about capturing photographs, your ideal camera kit will be minimal. It can range from a cell phone, to an action camera, to a mirrorless or DSLR camera with interchangeable lenses. What will work best for you? Check out our suggestions for different types of cameras for fish photography .
