About Shawn:
Shawn Heinrichs is an independent videographer and filmmaker who specializes underwater and adventure travel. His work includes projects for both broadcast and corporate customers. Shawn began diving in 1990 while attending university and immediately fell in love with the sport. In the late 90’s he entered the world of underwater still photography and immediately realized that underwater imagery would become a life long passion. It didn’t take long for the desire to “tell the story” vs. “capture the moment” to take hold of him. He invested in a Light & Motion underwater video set up and never looked back. Last year Shawn made the switch to HD. This has opened a whole new world of opportunity and challenge. Nevertheless, the results have been exciting.

Shawn’s passion and work have taken him to the corners of the planet in pursuit of wild encounters with some of the oceans most impressive creatures. His specialty is capturing wide angle footage of large pelagics such as sharks, mantas, game fish and marine mammals. Shawn is also dedicated to marine conservation and is active in a number of conservation initiatives. His video offers a perfect medium to capture the majesty of underwater realm and communicate it to the world in hopes of gaining better appreciation, understanding, and action.
