Looking forward to hearing from you!
Hi, I’m Justin Carfagnini — but everyone just calls me Carf (it’s easier to yell across a river). I’m a full-time freelance photographer and videographer rooted in the fly fishing and outdoor world. My work’s been featured in The Flyfish Journal, TROUT Magazine, The Drake, and I’ve shot for brands like Trout Unlimited, Bajio Sunglasses, onWater, and others. When I’m not on assignment capturing others reeling in fish (or not), you’ll find me guiding people on the water, teaching them how to fish — or at least how to look cool doing it. Either way, it’s about good vibes, good stories, laughs, and maybe a fish or two.
