George T. Probst - Shark Photographer

Hi, I'm George Probst. I'm a wildlife photographer and shark enthusiast. I began photographing sharks in 2006 with small point-and-shoot camera and have been upgrading my photography skills (I hope) and gear ever since.

My primary goal with sharing my photography is to help educate others about the importance of sharks and portray them in a responsible manner. I have been a contributor to Marine Conservation Science Institute's Guadalupe White Shark Photo Identification project for many years. In addition to my photography, I also travel to schools, organziations, and events to present my photography and experiences with others in way that is intended to be both educational and entertaining.

All of the great white sharks that appear on this site were photographed at Isla de Guadalupe, Mexico. The volcanic island, located 240km off the Baja coast, is a biosphere reserve where white sharks aggregate in the fall months. The sharks are drawn to the island by abundance of natural prey items including yellowfin tuna and northen elephant seals.
