Photographing The Ocean’s Apex Predator

3 09 2010

I just returned from Isla Guadalupe, Mexico, where I led a group of underwater photographers on an expedition to photograph great white sharks. This was definitely one of the more unique underwater photography expeditions that I have led over the last several years. These are graceful, powerful and humbling creatures to be in the water with. Here is an initial taste of the action.

Thanks Mark – we’re in a cage (well most of the time), and these animals are not out to hurt us, so not scary at all. Very graceful and beautiful (but respectable) creatures.

Hi Jason
I think these photos the best shark shots I ever saw. I am a bit scared for your safety . Please tell me you are safe!

Thanks, yes of course – in a cage and protected (for the most part). Was an amazing experience
