Valerie Taylor

The Ron and Valerie Taylor photographic collection dates from the 1950s until the 2000s, from when the couple met as divers and spearfishing champions, across all their years accumulating knowledge and expertise, underwater film and photographic experience and TV fame which saw them become two of the world’s top shark specialists. The collection represents their career arc, shark hunters whose growing awareness of the fragility of species and marine ecosystems led to their strong, early and continuing advocacy as protectors, researchers and ocean environmentalists.
