Annie has always dived and possessed a keen interest in the ocean from an incredibly young age. Her real passion and love, however, has always been sharks. Annie is a passionate marine advocate, educator, field technician, and freediving underwater photographer. Her work has been featured by popular brands such as National Geographic and Discovery Channel, and her passion and ambition to help save our oceans has seen her donate imagery to conservationists, scientists, enthusiasts, children and schools to inspire the next generation. Lastly, she is the president of Saving the Blue.

About the image: “I remember this dive like it was yesterday. I descended down, over the top of this beautiful hammerhead and she accepted me even though I was close to a particularly vulnerable spot, directly above her. To capture this shot I suspended myself mid water column and watched as she span and turned tightly forming a circle with real precision and flexibility. As I continued to freefall she finished her loop and I found myself sitting in her place. I watched as she departed before pushing off the sand and surfacing for another breath." – Annie Guttridge

Print Options

Professional Photographic Prints: Professional quality photo prints are similar to what you would print yourself, however the end result is much higher. The finish for all photographic prints is Luster. Luster is a hybrid of glossy and matte prints. This finish provides the benefits of both styles; it delivers bright colors, yet, it is not as shiny as glossy paper.

Giclee Fine Art Prints: Choose Giclee for the highest quality custom art printing. Images are printed on Low Texture Hahnemühle Bamboo 290, 100% archival fine art paper for a luxurious finish.

Metal Prints: Metal Prints are created by infusing images onto glossy white aluminum and are therefore vibrant and hard-wearing. Metal prints are durable, water-resistant and easy to clean. An aluminum wall float fixture is included for sizes 8×10 and up.
