Shark: Portraits

The beauty of the apex predator captured up close by Mike Coots.

Mike Coots, who was nearly killed by a tiger shark as a teenager and has since dedicated his life to sharing sharks’ indispensable role in a healthy ocean, gets up close and personal with the magnificent creatures in Shark Portraits. During free diving and scuba diving trips across the world, Coots has photographed Great Whites, as big as fourteen feet in length.

In Shark Portraits Coots anthropomorphizes the giant fish, with amazingly detailed and intimate images.
