Four years of photographic work under the cloak of night were needed to compose this extraordinary collection. 700 Sharks in the Night is the culmination of Laurent Ballesta's long-term quest to conquer his fear and be accepted into the heart of a pack of 700 sharks in Fakarava, a remote atoll in French Polynesia. The breathtaking images he brought back reveal a world of life, death, innocence, and violence. The fact that such a piece of wild nature still exists reassures us, frightens us, and dazzles us. This marvel of animal life is finally emerging from the shadows.

700 Sharks in the Night reveals that, at the end of the world, at the end of the night, and far from the human circus, the most dazzling ballet is endlessly repeated.
