'Sometimes the best images are not the ones we planned for.'
had alerted Peschak to an unusually large number of sharks cruising the southernmost shoreline of South Africa.
The pair tried following the sharks in a research boat, but found the engine noise altered the sharks’ behavior. Then Peschak had an idea. He had recently purchased a sea kayak, which would be less disruptive to the fish. Why not attempt to track them that way?It worked. “With a GPS mounted on the kayak, we were able to follow the shark into shallow water and observe natural behavior,” Peschak says. “Once that occurred, the photographer in me switched on again.
A developed roll of slide film shows the moments leading up to the picture photographer Tom Peschak refers to as"the ultimate shark scientist picture."He spent the next several months out on the research boat, waiting for calm conditions to deploy the kayak once again. Peschak was ready when the day finally came. From his vantage point, harnessed to the boat’s flybridge, he patiently watched as Scholl tracked sharks around“Then we get this one bold shark that comes up behind the kayak and quickly rises in the water column,” he says. “I am down to the last five or six frames on my roll of film. As the dorsal fin breaks the surface, the scientist in the kayak looks back, then click.
“Instead of the scientist tracking the shark the shark is now tracking the scientist, which was much more compelling.
