EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph titled "Tuamotu Islands. Rangiroa. Capturing a Tiger Shark" taken by renowned photographer Quilici, Folco in 1959, we are transported to the mesmerizing world of French Polynesia's Tuamotu Islands. The image captures a moment frozen in time, as a group of fearless individuals embark on an extraordinary adventure - capturing a majestic tiger shark. The sheer size and power of the shark is evident as it gracefully glides through the crystal-clear waters surrounding Rangiroa. Quilici's masterful composition allows us to witness this rare occurrence from an intimate perspective. The play of light and shadow adds depth to the scene, emphasizing both the beauty and danger that coexist beneath these tropical waves. As we gaze at this remarkable print from Alinari, our imagination runs wild with questions about what led these brave souls to undertake such a daring feat. Were they driven by scientific curiosity or perhaps motivated by their deep connection with nature? Beyond its inherent intrigue, this photograph also serves as a visual time capsule - transporting us back over six decades ago when French Polynesia was still relatively untouched by modern development. "Tuamotu Islands. Rangiroa. Capturing a Tiger Shark" invites us to reflect upon humanity's relationship with nature and our endless quest for discovery. It reminds us that even in today's fast-paced world, there are still hidden wonders waiting to be explored. This stunning piece by Quilici is not just an exquisite work of art; it is also an invitation for contemplation – urging us to appreciate the fragile balance between mankind and the natural world that surrounds us all.
