No shark cage, spear guns or knives. Just cameras. That’s how photographer William Winram rolls. His business card reads “Shark Publicist”, and he is on a quest to debunk the bad reputation that sharks have gained. With these incredible images he wants to show that our natural fear has been blown far out of proportion due to a couple of unfortunate accidents.

This endeavour was part of the filming of a documentary series commissioned for Ocean Quest, a film that won first prize at the prestigious 37th Underwater Film Festival held in Marseille.

The shots they got were unpredictable because the photographers never knew what direction the sharks would arrive from. According to Winram there were even more shots that they would have liked to get,  but “it really was a fluid environment — pardon the pun”.
