"Most of Carter's images come from his own experiences. While fishing, he shoots thousands of underwater photos to see how water and light distort and dapple the scales, fins and eyes of speckled trout and redfish... his conservation work helps provide an intimate view... rarely noticed by most (sportsmen)."

"It was great partnering with renowned wildlife artist Calvin Carter to put together [a] special piece of art for the Gulf Great White Sharks: Return of An Icon event at the Museum of the Gulf Coast on the 50th anniversary date of "Jaws". We gave out mini prints to kids and had the piece on display.

We wanted to do something positive for white shark conservation so we donated this original to the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy..."
