How We Capture Stunning Coral Photos

Our Gear:
We rely on the EOS R1 Mirrorless Camera for its unmatched ability to produce high-resolution, true-to-life images. This advanced camera is designed to excel in challenging lighting conditions, like those found in reef aquariums, capturing even the most subtle details with exceptional precision. Its fast focusing system ensures every shot is sharp, even in dynamic environments.

Our lens of choice is the EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM, a professional-grade macro lens specifically designed for close-up photography. This lens excels at capturing fine details like polyp extensions and intricate coral textures while maintaining accurate color reproduction. Its 100mm focal length allows us to shoot at a comfortable distance without disturbing the coral, and the advanced Image Stabilization (IS) ensures consistently sharp results. This is particularly important when photographing under water flow, where steady hands make all the difference.

Lighting Settings:
To bring out the vibrant fluorescence and rich hues of our corals, we photograph them under Ecotech Marine Radion XR30 Blues with these precise settings:

• 100% Violet
• 100% UV
• 100% Deep Blue
• 50% Blue

We also apply a custom white balance to ensure the colors you see in the photos match the corals' natural appearance in a properly lit aquarium.

We take great care with our photography to make sure every coral looks as vibrant and true-to-life as it does in person, so you can easily picture it thriving in your own reef.
