This photograph shows a pair of grey reef sharks chasing after its prey, a fusilier fish during a night hunt. The photograph was shot in South Fakarava, French Polynesia, a very remote location where sharks are abundant. Sharks are aggressive when they are hunting at night and Fakarava is one of the rare locations where night diving is not banned due to the risks involved. However, it was a challenge just putting a crew together that would enter the water for this photoshoot.

To hide from the sharks, prey hid amongst the cracks and crevasse in the corals. In this photo, a fusilier was detected, which attracted a shiver of sharks to break through the corals to flush the fusilier out. What followed was a high speed chase in the pitch darkness of the night. I kicked my fins as hard as I could and followed the chase with my camera furiously firing and was fortunate enough to capture this image.
