He loves shooting with the CX350 because the camera does not require a lot of adjustments to get the shots he needs. One of Moen’s goals is to keep the fish in the water and then quickly and safely release them back to their natural environment. He tends to shoot tight shots and assigns the Focus Macro function to one of his user buttons to switch gears in the middle of a session.

After surviving a plane crash from a job, he decided to quit the “on-the-road” lifestyle and start a photography and film-based journal, Catch Magazine, with photographer Brian O’Keefe. After studying fine arts at Montana State University, Moen took a job with a production company shooting fly fishing events for ESPN and OLN. Growing up in Montana, he would often document his friends fly-fishing with his parents’ analog 8mm tape camera. Todd Moen has been a working filmmaker for nearly 30 years. ![]()
