BLUE SHARK 12.tif

Download
Blue sharks are not a species targeted by the fishing industry, but around 20,000 are caught every year by surface long-liners or purse-seine trawlers. This shark slipped a long-liner’s hook, creating an ironic smile.
Shot on assignment for New Zealand Geographic Issue 121 May – June 2013.
