How We Photograph Our Corals

• Every WYSIWYG photo is taken in our systems with consistent lighting and a custom white balance.
• Our goal is simple: show the coral as it looks in a properly lit reef — not overly edited or exaggerated.

Our Camera + Lens

• Camera: Sony a7 IV R (mirrorless)
• Lens: Sony FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro G OSS
• Macro glass lets us capture fine details like texture, polyp extension, and subtle color shifts without getting too close.

Lighting We Shoot Under

• Primary: EcoTech Radion XR30 Blue
• Supplement: ReefBrite XHO
• Our Radion “photo” mix:
  
  100% Violet
  100% UV
  100% Deep Blue
  65% Blue
  
  

Color Accuracy

• We use a custom white balance so the photo matches what you’ll see under a clean, blue-leaning reef spectrum.
• Corals can look different tank-to-tank based on nutrients, spectrum, and flow — but we aim for honest, repeatable photos you can trust.
