The Shark Trusts' Shark Photography Competition Love them or fear them there’s no disputing sharks are a “must see” for most divers. However sharks are rapidly disappearing with many species in dramatic decline. The Shark Trust believes that the profile of these mysterious and much maligned animals can be bolstered through the increased public awareness that still and moving images can provide.
In 2007 and 2009 the Shark Trust, in conjunction with Diver, launched a shark photography exhibition, providing the perfect opportunity for divers and shark enthusiasts to capture these magnificent animals on camera and film. The Trust was inundated with beautiful images brimming with shark personality, which have been used to promote shark conservation at various locations throughout the UK, as well as on the Shark Trust website and in campaigns.
The Sharks in Focus photography exhibition, comprising of 35 stunning images from the winners of Shark Focus 2009, has been hugely successful, appearing at Shark Trust events and public exhibitions in aquariums throughout the UK.
Thank you to everyone who took part in this competition; your images have greatly contributed to shark conservation. Thank you also to all of our sponsors who made Sharks in Focus possible.
