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 There is a large library of reviewed shark books, a constantly outdated shark taxonomy page, a monster list of shark links, and deeper in the site there are numerous articles and stories about shark encounters.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:

ELASMODIVER EXPANDED

If you're looking for a broader range of marine life pictures the following links represent a new area that contains pictures on other marine organisms and on marine habitats. This expansion of Elasmodiver is in its first stages but will eventually include pages on everything from sea stars to nudibranches. Creating this portal will take time and for now it consists of a token offering of fish pictures. Please return regularly to enjoy the progress.

Shark Pictures for Commercial Licensing and Fine Quality Archival Prints

Shark Pictures - pictures of sharks and rays available for commercial licensing

Stock Shark and Ray Images by Marine Life Photographer Andy Murch

 

Using the Shark Picture Database

The Sharkive is a database of shark pictures that are available as commercial files or as fine quality archival prints. The database contains links to thousands of copyrighted pictures of sharks, rays, skates, and chimaeras (ghost sharks).

The shark species are listed alphabetically by their scientific name and by their most widely recognized common names including some synonyms. There are also some special categories listed by subject to make searching the database easier.

Please quote the species name and image number when ordering or requesting further information.

 

Commercial Licensing

Andy Murch's shark pictures have been reproduced in a variety of magazines, books, and scientific journals around the world. His photographs have also been used to illustrate marine life displays in public aquariums and zoos.

Image files are available in most requested formats from RAW files to 32 bit TIFFs. If you are interested in licensing one or more of the listed images for commercial purposes please email Elasmodiver with a brief description of how the image(s) will be used and the expected size of the print run. No project is considered too small but a nominal fee is ALWAYS assigned regardless of whether usage is for non-profit, scientific illustration, or charitable purposes.

Email Elasmodiver to request pricing or further information.

Important Information on the use of the Shark Pictures listed in the Sharkive

These shark images represent many years of work and great expense on behalf of the photographer. Under no circumstances may any of these shark photographs be downloaded or used in any way without the express permission of the photographer. This is a commercial database - that means that all of the images carry a licensing fee.

 

Thank you for your understanding!

The BC Marine Life Index

Although the BC Marine Life Index contains some pictures of sharks and skates it covers a much broader selection of aquatic life from crustaceans and mollusks, to fish, marine mammals, corals and sponges. The life inhabiting the shoreline of British Columbia is second to none in health, color, diversity, size, and abundance. The BC Marine Life Index is well worth a few minutes of your time.
