When you’re taking photos or video of fish that are easily frightened like this Monkfish, try to approach as slowly and calmly as possible. While composing the shot, try not to photograph only the fish, but also the surrounding environment as well as some blue water above the subject. If possible, capture the scene with other fish and wildlife in the background.
