Betta Photography: Tips & Tricks From A Pro

One things for certain when it comes to betta fish: they photograph beautifully.

But whilst they are undoubtedly among the most photo-friendly of fish, it’s far easier said than done when it comes to capturing that perfect shot.

We’ve long been in awe of those pristine-looking shots you see of a stunning betta on an all white or all black background, and we wanted to know how such a photograph is achieved.

We therefore interviewed professional photographer Ashleigh Cadet to find out how she has mastered the art of stunning betta photos. Below you can see her answers, as well as tips and tricks for taking great betta photos with your phone.

All of the photos included in this post (including the header image) are Ashleigh’s. You can see more of her work on her website.
