Some Tips for Photographing Sharks in Particular Oceanic White Tips. 1. Stay Shallow Oceanic White Tip Sharks are mostly territorial — i.e., more likely to come in close — from zero to 3 Metres. This is also the sweet spot for surface reflections, or dappled light on their backs. 2. Don’t Chase Pursuit will only scare the sharks away. The electrical field emitted by your strobes should attract their curiosity. 3. Body language showing too much confidence might prevent a close encounter. Break eye contact from time to time. Letting your guard down (just for show) should bring them in. 4. Strobe Strategy Your camera-to-shark distance can change instantly. Be prepared to reposition and change the output of your strobes from close to camera at low power for a dome-bumping pass to wide set at high power when they’re farther away.
