Apparatus and methods for photographing marine organism specimens are disclosed, capable of easily and motionlessly fixing marine organism specimen even on a sailing ship by epochal improvement to the conventional equipment for photographing marine organism specimens. Diffused reflection does not occur during the photographing, and this facilitates lively and realistic photographing of the marine organism specimens. The apparatus generally comprises a support centrally defined by a round hole, a top-opened cylindrical Petri dish supported at a periphery of the hole of the support by a lower circumference for accommodating therein water and marine organism specimen(s), a top-opened cylindrical cover wherein a lower surface is inserted from an upper surface of the Petri dish and an external lateral surface contacts an inner lateral surface of the Petri dish, whereby surface of water accommodated into the Petri dish is pushed to fix the marine organism specimen, a lighting system irradiating light toward a lateral surface of the Petri dish, and a camera installed upward of the Petri dish.
