I try to plan all of my shoots to give myself the best chance of success - and it’s no different underwater. I knew when I went to Cuba that I’d stand a decent chance of getting good shark action because Jardines de la Reina has been a protected marine reserve for 60 years. That means there are lots of fish and they support lots of sharks. I was also particularly lucky because my guide for the week (Luis) is a shark fan too, so he was very comfortable around them and knew exactly where to take me for the best opportunities.
We’d plan our shoots together on the surface, create our underwater studio and then invite our models for the day, in this case caribbean reef sharks, to join us on the shoot.
Take a look at the video below & you’ll see how we go about it.
