Up, close and personal vol 7.
I took this image of a female Tiger shark last year, in october at 80 miles to Bimini. This image went with my film "Face To Face: Overcoming Fear With Sharks" I love sharks, all the sharks.

How I did this image ? Canon R5 Sigma 20 mm Art f1,4 1/100e F3,5 Iso 1600 Easydive Underwater Housing 2 Big Blue lights 10 000 x 2 Lumens

Sharks are the super-predators of the oceans and the terror of the Western world. They are often perceived as bloodthirsty killers. This fear is heightened every time a shark attack hits the headlines. In response, beaches around the world are closed, nets are set up and sharks are systematically slaughtered. Living with sharks seems incompatible with our new lifestyles.
Yet one country has made a radically different choice: the Bahamas. This paradise archipelago, which welcomes nearly 7 million visitors every year, has declared́ its waters "shark sanctuaries". How do locals and tourists manage to live with these large predators? Would it be possible to get close to those considered to be man-eaters?
To answer this question, photographer Rodolphe Guignard takes us to the heart of shark territory. Accompanied by experts and scientists, he dives right up close to the sharks to capture some surprising interactions. An intense face-to-face encounter that reveals the true face of sharks, the opposite of their sad reputation

Up close and personal vol 3.

This photo is from my next film "Face to Face with Orcas" broadcast in March. It is a hunting image during a feeding of about thirty orcas and two humpback whales in Norway in January last year. You can see on the pic my friend Rodolphe Guignard who is the protagonist of my film. The water temperature was about 3 degrees celsius (37 Fahrenheit) and choppy, choppy, choppy :-)

How I took this photo ? First, It was damn cold and I've been lucky. Canon R5 Sigma 20 mm Art f1,4 1/100e f2,8 Iso 8000 Raw Manual
