Naturescape Gallery at the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History is proud to present marine photographer and shark researcher, Dr. Tom Burns “Photographing Sharks and Whales of the World” September 1 ~ October 29, 2017. *  

Dr. Burns has been photographing sharks and whales for over 20 years and his pursuit of these encounters has taken him around the world. Years of in-water interactions, often without the barrier of a cage, has allowed him to obtain a real perspective and stunning photographs of these intelligent animals.

Dr. Burns has worked on assignment with National Geographic Magazine and National Geographic Studios.  His photographs have been published in numerous magazines such as Scuba Diver, Asian Geographic, Asian Diver, and Shark Diver Magazine.  His images have also been used by conservation organizations such as the New England Coastal Wildlife Alliance, and published in scientific journals with renowned shark scientists.

A graduate of the Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine, Dr. Burns has been a practicing veterinarian at Veterinary Associates of Cape Cod in South Yarmouth Massachusetts, since 2000. He became the Hospital Director in 2005 and has expanded the practice to three locations. Veterinary Associates of Cape Cod is an award-winning organization recognized nationally as a leader in veterinary medicine and surgery.
