Tavish Campbell’s work brings conservation stories to light through underwater cinematography and photography. Engaged in conservation and environmental justice work since childhood he continues to dedicate his life to his home, the British Columbia coast. He runs Moonfish Media with his partner Deirdre Leowinata.

Growing up on a boat-access-only island off the west coast of Canada, lead to a layered relationship with the marine environment. Working as a professional mariner, fisherman, commercial diver and wilderness expedition guide Tavish worked both in Canada and around the world in locations such as Antarctica and the South Pacific, before directing his focus fully on conservation media in British Columbia.

Tavish has collaborated with numerous local and international conservation organizations and his imagery has been featured in various outlets around the world, including BBC, National Geographic, CBC, CTV, Al Jazeera, Metro UK, and Seattle Times. His images have supported the work of organizations and First Nations such as Heiltsuk Nation, Kitasoo Xai’xais Nation, Sea Shepherd, Raincoast Conservation Foundation, Wild First, Clayoquot Action, Skeena Wild, GreenPeace, and many other groups and individuals working on behalf of a healthy planet.

Most of the year he can be found on his expedition dive boat M/V Harlequin documenting the vibrant underwater world of B.C.’s coast, in hopes of sparking #fishlove.
