Awesome Photos Of Models Swimming With Whale Sharks

Jul 26, 2021, 12:45 IST

Two models were used for the shoot: Italian model Roberta Mancino (a world skydiving champion) and model Hannah Fraser (professional underwater model).

The Philippines photo shoot took 20-hours to complete, beginning at 4 a.m.

Whale Sharks are the largest fish on earth, measuring 30 feet long and weighing 20,000 pounds.

Could you imagine swimming this close to something so huge?

Model Roberta mirrors the Whale Shark's movements as it touches the water's surface.

Though the lighting and color levels have been tweaked in the final images, nothing else has been Photoshopped.

Gorgeous.

Most of Shawn Heinrichs's previous work has focused on endangered marine wildlife, particularly illegal shark fishing.

Here, Japanese workers walk through rows of legally caught salmon sharks removing their hearts and fins.

Workers sort the fins from primarily blue and mako sharks in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.

He also documented illegal gill trading. Here, fishermen haul in a Chilean devil ray (a threatened species) to market in Lombok, Indonesia.

More incredible images.
