Everyone who works with animals likes the odd close encounter, but Tony is a man who has more than most would ever want. Whilst playing a prank on the clients in the cage crew member Tony comes as eye to eye with a white shark as one could possible get. The animal who was not very pleased with him showed off her impressive arsenal of teeth as she passed the cage, after that passing comment Tony climbed off the cage 
and proceeded to continue working. I think that was close enough, even for Tony!

Growing up I always enjoyed watching the adventure films of yester-year. 7th Voyages Of Sinbad, Jason And The Argonorts and all of these classic B-movies are still some of my favourites. However, Studying these films for around five years dented my love a tiny bit and 
when thoughts five years land you a job in food retail, love is definitely not the word I would use to describe my studies. As time passed I kept seeing an online advert for an internship that 
took people shark cage diving for a month, the images of my own B-movie adventures where all to tempting. The adventures I had become a passion, and iv been photographing the wildlife of this planet now for two B-movie-esc years.
