“She was a female and around 3.5 meters [11.4 feet]. It came in around 2 meters [6.5 feet] from the cage and then one time charged us for this shot and ended up turning off around two feet from my camera," Overall said in comments obtained by Magnus News Agency.

He continued: “I knew it was going to be a pretty wild shot but maybe too close as I was shooting 50mn. When I got up on the boat everyone crowded around the camera in the housing for a quick look and we were all blown away.”

Though shark attacks are rare, there have been a few isolated incidents in recent memory of sharks interacting with photographers.
In February, Andrew Fox captured terrifying images of a great white shark that came within inches of his hand as he attempted to get the best shots.
