Reseña: Michael Muller has carved a career out of impressive encounters. Famed for his portraits of the worlds most elite actors musicians and sports stars he has in the last decade built up one of the most spectacular portfolios of underwater shark photography. Mullers quest is to document sharks with an unprecedented proximity and precision bringing the Hollywood portrait session to the ocean predator. In ocean depths around the world he approaches the sharks with a patented seven-bulb 1200-watt plexi-encased strobe lighting rig developed with NASA engineering and no cage. This collection of Mullers images including the first-known photograph of a great white breaching at night is a catalog of adrenalin and awe. Arranged geographically it follows Mullers ocean adventures from black tip and sand tiger sharks in South Africa to great hammerheads in the Bahamas with thrilling narratives from each trip documenting the challenges and near-misses along the way. To compliment Mullers work for advocacy organizations such as WildAid and EarthEcho the images are contextualized with essays from Philippe Cousteau Jr. and marine biologist Alison Kock who discuss exploration and conservation of our oceanic kingdom. Culture writer Arty Nelson adds an overview of Mullers work while a technical section explains the precise equipment behind these spectacular shots. Together these insightful texts and awesome images offer a record of breathtaking photographic feats a tribute to the beauty and might of the shark and a rallying cry for its fragile future.This book is also available in a signed Collectors Edition and two Art Editions each including a signed and numbered print.
