One of the most famous movie posters of all time has been brilliantly re-created nearly 50 years on.
The fearsome open-mouthed image of the legendary sea monster Jaws from the 1975 film struck terror into millions.
Now it has been brilliantly re-mastered, captured nearly exactly as depicted in the iconic cover shot.
The pictures were taken from just six feet away by the co-founder of Be A Shark Adventure Travel, Nikki Brant Sevy.
The poster-worthy picture shows a 13-foot-long great white shark - known as Nicole - swimming up towards the surface in a pose that mimics the iconic movie Jaws.
Another of the snaps shows a sub-adult great white shark called Bergvall, who is about 11-feet-long, twisted around to face the camera, almost grinning at the photographer.
The 51-year-old captured the snaps at Guadeloupe Island in Mexico on a Nikon D500 camera with a 17-70-millimetre lens in a Nauticam dive housing.
“Guadalupe Island has over four-hundred individually identified white sharks, and I've been lucky enough to photograph over two-hundred of them,” said Nikki.
“When sharks are serious about getting a hang bait they often make a fast vertical approach from the depths.
“I saw Nicole approaching from below and was able to visually track her as she instigated her approach. She rose up directly in front of me and I knew I had the chance at a Jaws movie poster shot.
“There were a lot of mackerel around that day, and I was worried they ruined the photo by getting between me and Nicole, or that they pulled focus from her.
“Checking your photos underwater is difficult, though, so I crossed my fingers and went back to photographing Nicole for another hour. It wasn't until the trip was over that I downloaded my images and realised I got the shot.”
She added that she hopes people see a different side of sharks when they see the pictures of Bergvall, who is known for being good-natured.
“Bergvall looks like he's smiling all the time, so I try to focus on him when he's around the cages,” she said.
“In this series Bergvall was trying to decide if he should get a bite of tuna by chasing the hang bait, or swim past the cages again to check out the divers.
“He's young and he's curious, so naturally he wanted to do both things at once. With his goofy grin, Bergvall gave me the chance to share a different view of white sharks than what you usually see on TV or in the movies.”
