18-year-old Shannon Glasson was born with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia, a rare condition affecting her adrenal glands and leaving her body unable to produce adrenaline. She cannot feel fear!

The fearless photographer surrenders to her favorite place, the ocean.

“The ocean, for me, is a place where nothing else exists,” Shannon explained to Whimn.

“It is a release from all the drama and stress on land.

“I can go in the water for what I think is an hour, and it’s really been four. “There is nothing that compares to the ocean.

“There is so much freedom.

“When I was young I always got told not to do dangerous things due to the complications if I did get hurt seriously.

“I now am doing things that chicks have never done, so I can’t say I listened to much.”
