‘My aim was to make the shark look small in its habitat, in this case the Caribbean. I wanted to highlight just how vulnerable they are. So I went for a very simple composition, looking down as it swam across the sand.’ The Bahamas is one of the few places where sharks have not been decimated by the shark-fin-soup trade – fins are now worth more than $700 a kilogramme. Caribbean reef sharks used to be common throughout the tropical west Atlantic Ocean, but are now only found in a few locations. This species mainly feeds on reef fish and octopus and is a fast and agile hunter.
Nikon D2X + 12–24mm f4 lens; 1/125 sec at f11; ISO 100; Subal housing.
