Capture the artful look of fly fishing photography
5 Tips for Capturing the Casts
#1 – Wide Angle Lens
Use a wide-angle lens and get yourself below the caster to shoot back up.
#2 – Get Low
Get Low, get really low. Get into a position that makes the casting look very artful.
#3 – Athletic Stance
Have your caster take an athletic stance.
#4 – Shoot Straight Upwards
Shoot straight up and try to get the beautiful line in the air. Really try to capture the artful look of fly fishing photography. This is a great technique for rod and line companies if you’re getting on the product side of the photography.
#5 – Take Control
Don’t be afraid to ask the captain to flip the boat if needed.
