Euan Rannachan, a photographer and also a shark lover has captured an incredible photo of a great white shark in its striking pose with opened mouth which recalls the iconic poster of famous movie ‘JAWS’,1975.
The
movie poster was painted by artist Roger Kastel based on a taxidermy shark and
it became one of the most recognized cover images in cinema industry for years.
For Rannachan, the photo he clicked which mirrors the classic image of ‘JAWS’
is a dream came true. “This is a photo that Not only I but also my shark lover
friends have been trying to take for years.” he utters.
Euan
was captivated with sharks since childhood. Now as a photographer he dives the
sea to photographs the sharks and their majestic behavior as great hunters in
the ocean. As he says he has dived with sharks countless time. During the trip
to Mexico’s Guadalupe island he shot this ultimate photo just 35 feet away
while diving in a safety cage. “Things happened so fast down there and I was
ready to capture if one passes by nearby. It was not so late in night, when I
was backing up footages, I saw it and I just shot quickly.” he speaks about the
lifetime moment.
All
he wants is to share his love for these incredible animals with a larger
audience. “It’s always excites me how powerful and precious they can be, while
being completely under control.” He hopes people will realize they are not such
heinous creatures as they are often made to be.
