Photography

Dolphin Research Center offers the services of staff photographers for your Ultimate Trainer for a Day, VIP Experience, Researcher Experience, Dolphin Encounter, and Family Dolphin Splash program. They’ll take pictures as you interact with the dolphins that will be available to view at the Photo Desk inside the Welcome Center.

You must stop at the Photo Desk to select your photographs before leaving DRC. (No purchase necessary to view.) No phone or e-mail orders after your visit.

You may purchase a download package of digital images to take with you. The digital package includes a release form, additional stock photos, and educational information about marine mammals, conservation and our research. Please inquire at the Photo Desk for package pricing.

As a not-for-profit corporation, revenue from your purchases stays at Dolphin Research Center to help provide the best care humanly possible for the animals that call DRC home. Thank you!

Cameras & Video

For the safety of the dolphins, their habitat, other guests, yourself, and your personal property, no cameras or camera phones are allowed during programs on floating docks. No selfie sticks are allowed. Dolphin Research Center also does not permit the use of drones on or over our facility.

If you are doing a program in the water, you may bring a waterproof camera as long as it either floats, or is attached to you.

You are welcome to take your own photographs and videos around DRC of the dolphins, sea lions, and grounds, and of your friends and family during their interactions. All such photographs, videos or other recordings taken at Dolphin Research Center are considered to be for your personal, non-commercial use only.  No other use can be made without the express, written prior approval of DRC.

If you are a member of the media, or wish to use photos or video images of our dolphin and sea lion family for any commercial purposes, please email the Media Department at media@dolphins.org.
