ScarFace

This photograph was taken during a photography trip to Guadalupe Island in Mexico. Guadalupe Island is a white shark hot spot and in my opinion the number 1 location for observing/ photographing great white shark behavior. The gin like water is so clear that it allowed me to experiment with photographing underwater using only natural light. These photos were taken using a combination of surface and submersible cages that were lowered to 10 meters.

 

A Great White shark cruises through blue water off the island of Guadalupe. The light piercing through the waters surface highlights all the minute details of the shark. The appearance is rugged with skin marked with multiple scratches and scars suggesting run ins with other sharks.
