Photo and Video Guidelines |
All aquarium visitors can take photos and video for their private, personal use only. For safety reasons, use of tripods or
monopods is prohibited. Taking photos or video, including for stock images
and other commercial purposes, is prohibited unless authorized in
advance by the Public Relations
department. For media, there are also some restrictions on use of tripods and
supplemental lighting. If you're planning a photo or video shoot as
part of a story about the aquarium, please review our Photo and Video Guidelines, then contact the Public Relations department in advance to make arrangements.

Stock Photos
|
It's not a priority for us, but we can provide stock photos of marine
life - on a fee basis - for book and magazine projects. We have images
available that are not included in our Pressroom Photo Library. Contact
Kasia Newman ((knewman@mbayaq.org with stock photo image requests. Visit our Photo Library for instructions for requesting images) regarding stock photo image requests. See our instructions for requesting images.

Location Shoots at the Aquarium
|
On a case-by-case basis we'll consider requests to film scenes for a
movie, TV show or commercial, or to photograph an advertisement at the
aquarium. We charge fees for location shooting; see our Location Guidelines for details.
