About The Shot
Moorea, French Polynesia/ 2024
In the vast, open ocean, Oceanic Whitetip Sharks are never truly alone. These patient predators often shadow pods of migrating sperm whales, waiting for an opportunity to scavenge leftovers from a deep dive hunt. Just as they follow the giants of the sea, they too are trailed by smaller companions—remoras and pilot fish that cling to their bodies or swim in their wake. The remoras use the shark as a free ride, feeding on scraps and parasites, while the pilot fish gain protection from potential threats. It is a silent dance of survival, where nothing goes to waste, and patience is rewarded. In this endless blue desert, the Oceanic Whitetip is both hunter and wanderer, ever watchful for its next chance.
