Emmy award winning cinematographer Shawn Heinrichs and I have been working on creating groundbreaking art imagery showing the connection between human and sea creature in a series of awe inspiring short films and photos featuring Tiger Sharks, Whale Sharks, Pilot Whales, Dolphins, and Manta Rays... (and mermaids!) We have been actively campaigning to bring inspiration over devastation and END the shark fin and manta gill ray trade, and cetacean slaughter by showing people that these animals are intelligent, interactive, largely harmless, and invaluable to the balance of the eco system that we depend upon for life on this planet. We have created huge fine art prints that are life-size to give the viewer the experience of being part of the underwater adventure, and our films have been shown worldwide, and been instrumental in helping the campaigns to change governmental protection laws for manta rays and sharks. We aim to engage seaside communities in protecting their local ocean animals and eco system by education, and inspiration. After presentations featuring our work local communities in the Philippines and Indonesia have changed their practices of killing to tourism to showcase the natural beauty of these animals. We will be releasing our documentary ‘Guardians of the Deep’ (tearsofamermaid) in late 2015 which will show behind the scenes footage of how we created these inspiring images, and how we navigated these unique and beautiful animal connections. The shoots are full of intense challenge, physical hardships and require a deep knowledge of the ocean and its inhabitants, but ultimately our dedicated team of ocean lovers are elated by the successful interactions and how they have helped drive action and inspire change in how we relate to our planet. hannahmermaid bluespheremedia/journal/ Please share this post to spread the ocean love.
