Remuna Beca
Eclipse (Single)
DESCRIPTION
A Caribbean reef shark glides above, its silhouette transforming the sun into an underwater eclipse. This moment, captured in the Bahamas, highlights the grace and mystery of a species often misunderstood. Sharks, essential to marine ecosystems, are too often feared rather than revered. By using the interplay of light and shadow, I sought to reframe the narrative—inviting viewers to see beyond the silhouette and into the elegance of these apex predators.
The backlighting effect accentuates the shark’s form while the sun’s refracted rays create a celestial atmosphere, emphasizing the otherworldly beauty of the ocean. In fine art photography, light is everything—it sculpts, defines, and reveals. Here, it transforms the scene into something ethereal, evoking both wonder and respect for the life beneath the waves.
This image is part of my ongoing effort to shift perspectives on sharks, illustrating them not as threats, but as vital, awe-inspiring creatures that deserve protection.
