Having a professional photographer around can be a nerve wracking experience. Anyone who has ever been in a professional studio knows what I'm talking about. Sit like this, turn your head slightly to the left, drop your chin, place your hands here....you get the idea. Fortunately, that demanding attitude that is so necessary to getting a good shot does not always carry over into real life outside of the profession. On our trip to the Everglades, we had a genuine photography/filmmaker professional along for the ride, and it was definitely a treat. Tanya Not only did she shoot a lot of video of the trip to put together a short movie of the experience, but she also shared her knowledge and we all became better photographers because of it.

Having four DSLRs on a trip is a great way to get multiple perspectives. Each person focuses on a different aspect so the sum of their perspectives can give a much more well-rounded view of the trip. The following are a collection of pictures that Tanya graciously sent me to use. My first request was obviously for some fishing-related pictures, but I also mentioned that any other really cool shots would be nice.
If you are interested in seeing more of her work, or in need of a professional photographer for shooting weddings or anything else, check out
Tanya's blog. All of the following photographs are by Tanya Musgrave.
Nice shots, I wish I had a friend who was a pro photographer. It's hard to find people who want to take pictures while you're fishing. Most people you fish with want to just fish. So you get a lot of pictures of your hand or fish in general.
ReplyDeleteKevin,
ReplyDeleteIt was awesome to not always be the one behind the lens. I love taking pictures but it usually means that I'm not in most trip photos.
