This recent edition of the Washington Post features a great illustration for the front cover and inside story, featuring retouch work by our talented Happy Finish Artist Nick Nedeljkovic and some fantastic shots from Scottish-born Photographer Finlay MacKay.

The 21st of June 2015 edition of the Washington Post features an article on Greg Skomal, a senior biologist from the Massachusetts s Division of Marine Fisheries, who periodically moonlights as a TV biologist for Discovery Channel s Shark Week. He's searching for evidence to support his hypothesis that great white sharks are returning in force to their old Eastern Seaboard. They ve been shooting for an hour-long program titled Shark Trek for Shark Week 2015, the 28th edition of the seemingly indestructible franchise and in conjunction with the 40th anniversary of the Jaws film.

"Finlay is a true out-of-the box thinker, and we knew he would create pictures for this story from a slightly different tilt. The result was an 11-foot-long, 200-pound shark replica that ironically shows up in some of the most normal of summer situations..." The Washington Post.
