Whales Sharks - Seychelles

Whale-shark-WEB-SOSF%20small.jpgMy final assignement in the Seychelles was for the Save our Seas Foundation. I photographed whale sharks and scientific research carried out by scientsts of the Marine Conservation Society which is funded by SOSF.  Faced with strong winds, rough sea condition, bad visibility and only sporadic whale shark sightings, the week was challenging to say the least. Nontheless I managed to leave with the start of a portfolio and feature story and have been commisioned to return in 2008.
