Amber Payliss is a fly fishing photographer and angler based in Calgary, Alberta. Growing up in the Sheep River Valley, she developed a lasting connection to the rivers and landscapes of Alberta's eastern slopes. Her photography goes beyond the fish, capturing the people, places, and fleeting moments that tell the broader story of a day on the water. Drawn to natural light, wild places, and the details often overlooked, Amber approaches photography with an appreciation for the watersheds and ecosystems that make these experiences possible. For her, photography is as much about the experience of being on the water as it is about the fish themselves.
