Quint at the helm of the Orca, with Hooper and a shouting Chief Brody at the rail below, in the thick of the hunt. Photographed by Edith Blake. Edith Blake (1925-2023) wrote and took pictures for the Vineyard Gazette and had insider access to the JAWS set throughout the summer of 1974. Her photographs, long circulated as anonymous production stills, are credited to her here. They are in color, with the warm patina of fifty years. From the personal collection of Peter Benchley (American, 1940-2006), acclaimed author of Jaws, accomplished diver, and prominent advocate for ocean and shark conservation. Proceeds from the Peter Benchley Collection will benefit five ocean conservation organizations: Peter Benchley Ocean Awards, WildAid, Beneath the Waves, Blue Frontier and Environmental Defense Fund.
