Media Notes

  • ALL photos are portrait orientation (phone camera / WhatsApp). No landscape shots available.
  • Website design must account for portrait-only gallery (crop to landscape for hero, or use portrait grid)
  • 2 videos (both portrait, 720p): sailfish release action — excellent for hero background video or gallery
  • Many photos show happy US tourists — good for social proof / testimonial sections
  • Guide appears in several photos (young man, tattoos, caps) — likely the captain/owner
  • "Gunslinger" branding visible on hull in several fishing photos
