BIO OF ANDY MURCH

 
 ELASMOBRANCHS

Not just Shark Pictures: Elasmodiver contains photos of sharks, skates, rays, and chimaera's from around the world. It began as a simple web based field guide to help divers find the best places to encounter different species of sharks and rays but it has slowly evolved into a much larger project containing information on all aspects of shark diving and photography. There are now more than a thousand shark pictures  and sections on shark evolution, biology, and conservation. There is a large library of reviewed shark books, a constantly outdated shark taxonomy page, a monster list of shark links, and deeper in the site there are numerous articles and stories about shark encounters. Elasmodiver is now so difficult to check for updates, that new information and pictures are listed on an Elasmodiver Updates Page that can be accessed here:

PREDATORS IN PERIL

An exhibition of images by Andy Murch

 

The Predators in Peril Exhibition focuses on the public’s changing perception of sharks and their uncertain future in an increasingly hostile ocean.

 

An exhibition in two parts:

 

Sharks in a Fading Light

The first series of images portray sharks as iconic predators; powerful, daunting and majestic. The setting sun comments on the end of an era as the hysteria that surrounded sharks in the late 20th century is slowly replaced by respect and appreciation.

 

 

 

Predators in Peril

The second series of images focuses on the innate beauty and grace of sharks and explores their extraordinary diversity. This collection also includes images that draw attention to the vulnerability of sharks and the fragile position of many species due to over-fishing and habitat destruction.

About the Photographer 

Predators in Peril showcases the stunning imagery of Andy Murch. Andy's photographs and narrative have appeared in hundreds of books and magazines around the world. His shark and ray images have also been utilized by numerous conservation groups such as the World Wildlife Fund, Shark Alliance, Shark Trust, Pew Institute, IUCN, Smithsonian, Ocean Conservancy and many other NGOs to raise awareness about the plight of endangered species.
