A lone whale shark emerges from the dark abyss. The largest fish in the world spends most of its time in solitude, wandering the seas in search of its microscopic prey. In the age of shark finning, will this shark meet another of its kind? Or is it destined to wander the ocean alone?

Isolation

A lone whale shark rises from the abyss. The largest fish in the world, these gentle giants spend most of their lives in the deep, far from any light. I was lucky enough to take this shot whilst this shark came up to the surface to sunbathe for a while, before returning to the deep.

Patterns In The Deep
