A juvenile whale shark roaming the surface waters, appearing as a galaxy of spots moving through the blue hues. For this reason, whale sharks are called Hiu Bintang in Indonesia translating literally as "star shark". There is no place in French Polynesia to purposefully observe whale sharks. It is entirely up to luck. So if you begin to see a milky way forming beneath you, don't forget to make a wish. It might just be a whale shark.
Kori Burkhardt is an underwater photographer, expedition leader, & shark biologist based in French Polynesia.
Capturing the ocean's apex predator by completely immersing with them, her goal is to show sharks in a beautiful, yet still powerful, perspective.
As co-founder of conservation and research organization Mao Mana Foundation, her mission commits to protecting sharks. Featured on National Geographic and Discovery Channel for her work with sharks since 2014 (previously under Kori Garza).
Join me on a journey underneath the surface of Tahiti's wild. A 12 piece collection of 1/1 edition images.
From humpback whales to tiger sharks, this collection features some of my prized moments spent underwater in the various islands and atolls of French Polynesia over the last six years as an expedition guide and shark biologist. Each underwater moment is captured on breath-hold, often allowing more intimate observations of naturally evasive wildlife.
My goal is to share captures of marine wildlife with those who may also be passionate about the ocean themselves, or as a way for those to discover it who are not able to experience it firsthand. Particularly aiming to share images of sharks as a dreamy yet still powerful representation of the ocean's most misunderstood predator. The anti-JAWS movement.
Take a moment to read each moment's story and embrace the wild beneath.
