“..The story of this particular photograph began on a perfectly calm and glassy sea. I tied myself to the tower of the White Shark Trust research boat and leaned into the void, precariously hanging over the ocean while waiting patiently…When the shark’s dorsal fin emerged, I thought I had the shot but hesitated a fraction of a second.

Peschak, ocean researcher, and conservation photographer.
