Description
The renowned wildlife photographer presents his most awe-inspiring images of great whites, hammerheads, and other shark breeds in this compelling volume. For most people, sharks and fear go hand in hand. But photographer and conservationist Chris Fallows maintains a more nuanced relationship with the super predator. Gasp-inducing in their immediacy and surprise, Fallows’s brilliant photographs present these mighty creatures in a different light. In Great White, Fallows’s work reveals the sublime beauty of sharks and provides a rare glimpse into their unseen world. Fallows captures these fearsome creatures as they breach the water’s surface in awesome displays of power. He also follows them below the waves to capture their mysterious underwater domain. A one-of-a-kind portrait of the shark and a superlative study of the nature photographer’s art, this collection elicits a deep appreciation for the creatures that inhabit our oceans.
