Guadalupe Great White Sharks

Misunderstood beauty

Out of all the shark photos that I've taken over the years, this shot of a white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) gracefully and peacefully swimming through the water is probably my favorite. I feel like this is an accurate representation of the species, and how it would typically be viewed in the wild. Most white shark photos that we see in the media tend to be open-jaw shots that try to emphasize the ferocity of the species. In reality, sharks are not eating (and biting things) a vast majority of the time. Recent studies have shown that a 30kg meal can sustain an adult white shark for 12-15 days.
