having dreamt of taking part in the annual sardine run in South Africa for a very long time, I decided to travel there this year. Little did i know what unforgettable moments I will have... Whilst in the water with a bait ball of sardines, hunted down by predators like common dolphins, sharks and cape gannets this huge bryde's whale came shooting up from down below, without warning and at a fast pace, gracing us with it's presence. A moment that I will never forget.

About author:

I was born in Germany but have been travelling the world to pursue my biggest passion and dream - wildlife photography over the past 10 years. My home base is a small coastal village in Western Australia on the Ningaloo Reef and I am still exploring the globe trying to capture the outstanding creatures our planet has on offer. My artwork is honest, exploratory, educational and inspirational.
