Digitising Wildlife – Great white shark 3D photogrammetry, MRes projectFebruary 28, 2021
Having recently received my marks for my Masters Mini Project, I'm thus able to share the work I undertook - digiting wildlife.
My name is David ‘Ed’ Edwards.
I am addicted to great white sharks.
They’re the shit.

I've done a website for long time friend, colleague and fello-shark nut, Oliver Jewell. He does stuff with great white sharks. Go see.
Great white sharks are generally known for biting things, so the name 'Bitey' would generally make sense. In this particular fish's case, it's a little more ironic.
Just because it has 'Stoke' in the title doesn't mean it's a lesser version. I mean, strictly speaking it probably does, but just put that to one side for the benefit of my ego.
Spud was a great white shark I worked with briefly in Gansbaai, South Africa. What made this shark was special, was that we technically met some ten months before.
Monterey Bay Aquarium released a short film, comprising footage of the white shark we tracked swimming through kelp in South Africa, 2017. It's boss.
Yeah well, they do. It's a fact. Great white sharks swim through kelp. We proved it, incase you were unsure.
Flag was a 4.5 metre great white shark, seen in both Gansbaai and Mossel Bay (South Africa) from 2007 to 2009. She was massive and terrifying.
Because not only are white sharks absolute bad asses who generally have no interest in killing humans, but they're actively helping us battle one of the most terrible diseases on the planet. We're welcome!
Since great white shark drawings are something I indulge in fairly often for fun/work as it is, I figured it's high time I tried to capitalise on the trillions of people searching Google for how to do the same.
A few weeks back, I was suggested for creating an infographic for an upcoming great white shark research paper (I know right? No accounting for taste these days!). Said paper is now published and well worth your time (especially the infographic).
