Majesty of the Ocean

The Great White shark - the majestiy of the ocean. This photo was taken during a cage dive in Guadalupe Island (diving cages are mandatory by law in Mexico). It was my first time encountering this shark species and it was absolutely mesmerising. Despite their size, great whites are incredibly agile.

About Artist

Gillian Shark

I'm a Swiss shark photographer based in Australia. My initial fear of sharks turned into a fascination and passion for these incredibly misunderstood animals once I saw them in their natural habitat during one of my first dives. In 2016, I started with underwater photography, specialising in shark photography. The main aim of my photography is to raise awareness, educate people about the importance of sharks for our ecosystem and also to portray sharks in an aesthetically beautiful way. Moreover, with my pictures I want to give people access to a different world they maybe do not have the chance to explore themselves.
