Michael Muller by Arty Nelson

With a patented seven-bulb 1200-watt strobe lighting rig, Michael Muller dives to ocean depths around the world to photograph sharks with the same precision and proximity he achieved in Hollywood studios. This book brings together his most spectacular shots, including the first-known photograph of a great white breaching at night.

“Muller’s intimate, mesmerizing shark portraits convey an energy and wonder that has you wanting to learn more” * coolhunting.com *
“[Sharks] in no way demonises the ocean’s apex predators; instead, Muller’s beautiful underwater images admire the animals’ evolutionary perfection and graceful power. Nature’s supermodels.” * Esquire *
“Sharks: Face-to-Face with the Ocean’s Endangered Predator, is full of strikingly beautiful, intimate shots of the animals. Photographing them with Hollywood-style lighting and free from a cage, Muller has been on a mission to help conserve these much-feared and misunderstood ocean dwellers.” * CBS News *
“…extraordinary not only in its aesthetic wonder but also in its ability to change and inspire the way we see—and think about—these majestic creatures of the deep.” * Flood magazine *
“This stunning monster shark book will eat you alive.” * Maxim.com *
“The culmination of a decade-long obsession with these apex predators, [Sharks] contains hundreds of photos, shot in beautiful, haunting style...” * Man of the World *
