Weekly Post



Thomas Peschak

Thomas Peschak is a photographer for National Geographic Magazine. He spends 300 days a year in the field traveling the world and capturing influential photos of nature around the world. Thomas was a marine biologist and retired from science to pursue a life dedicated  to environmental photojournalism  after realizing that he could have a bigger impact with photographs more than what he was doing with his marine biology career. Thomas started his career specializing in photographing Africa's marine and coastal biodiversity. 
He's published three well renowned books. In 2012 he published a book on Sharks and People which shows the chronicles of the relationship between sharks and people from more then 24 locations all around the world. I really enjoyed how he captured the relationship between the two as seen in one of my pictures above. He does a great job with capturing natural light and the essence of how big yet gentle these animals are. Also how the sharks are just curious to whats around them. I hope one day to be able to travel the world and capture the same beauty of sharks around the world.
