The shallows erupt with movement, sharks pushing forward in a sudden, urgent swell of energy.
In the remote waters of northern Raja Ampat, I followed the graceful paths of Blacktip reef sharks as they patrolled the shallows. Shooting here was all about patience and presence, moving quietly through a world that feels untouched and fragile. The light here bends differently, filtering through deep blue to illuminate the patterns and movements of the reef. Being in their space, observing their instinct and rhythm, reminded me why I keep coming back to these wild places. Every frame tells a story of connection, curiosity, and respect.

The Print & Paper
Each image is printed locally with The Film Safe on Hahnemühle German Etching, a rich, heavyweight 310gsm, matte fine art paper with a subtle texture and warm tone. This paper enhances contrast and detail beautifully, especially in the deep blacks and fine textures that define this series.
Museum-grade and built to last, these prints are made to make a statement
Available in exclusive limited editions: 25 prints in A2 and 15 in A1, each carefully numbered and part of this series.
Print Care Instructions
Please handle all of my prints with extreme care. Always handle your print with clean, dry hands or white cotton gloves to avoid oils or smudges on the surface.
Keep prints away from direct sunlight to preserve colour and prevent fading.
For long-term display, frame under UV-protective glass or acrylic.
Use acid-free mounts and backing to protect the paper.
Store unframed prints flat in a dry, cool environment away from humidity.
Clean frames or glass gently with a soft, dry cloth—avoid sprays directly on the print.
