Daydreamer
An adult Port Jackson Shark (Heterodontus portusjacksoni) basks in the sunlight of the shallows. As nocturnal hunters, they usually rest under ledges during the day or swim away quickly. This one, however, was enjoying the sun in just 2 m of water, allowing me to approach and capture the moment.
About Artist
Vadim Belakhov
I am a certified freediver and underwater photographer based in Melbourne, Australia. Photography has been a long-standing passion of mine, and about five years ago I combined it with another passion—freediving—turning breath-hold diving into both my way of exploring the underwater world and my creative tool. Whether I am travelling or diving locally in Port Phillip Bay, I focus on telling visual stories that show you do not need to be a scuba diver to experience the extraordinary beauty the ocean has to offer.
