Aerial View of Whale Shark and Snorkeler

Piece description from the artist

Whale sharks are actually not whales but part of the shark family. These large creatures can weigh up to 12 tons have over 3,000 teeth but they don't use them to eat. Whale sharks are filter feeders which means they sieve plankton, krill, squid and small fish through their gills for much of their nourishment.

A selection of his fine art surf photographs have been exhibited at the prestigious Galerie Jean-Denis Walter in Paris. Tommy’s underwater photography career began during his service as a U.S. Peace Corps volunteer in the Philippines where he worked on environmental issues facing coral reefs. He’s been based in Bali since 2007, where the beauty and diversity of the Indonesian archipelago has inspired some of his best work. The common thread throughout Tommy’s work is a love of the ocean, telling the stories of the people, places, and wildlife that are inextricably tied to the amazing biodiversity and cultures of the Coral Triangle.
