Turtle Garden
I was watching these green sea turtles for a while. At one point I could anticipate where the slight current would take them and myself. I waited for the turtles to get into the position I had in mind and dived down to take this photo. Thanks to the healthy coral it felt as if I was in a garden.

About Artist
Gillian Shark
I'm a Swiss shark photographer based in Australia. My initial fear of sharks turned into a fascination and passion for these incredibly misunderstood animals once I saw them in their natural habitat during one of my first dives. In 2016, I started with underwater photography, specialising in shark photography. The main aim of my photography is to raise awareness, educate people about the importance of sharks for our ecosystem and also to portray sharks in an aesthetically beautiful way. Moreover, with my pictures I want to give people access to a different world they maybe do not have the chance to explore themselves.
