Created through nearly two decades of swimming with humpback whales in Tonga, Whale Being is a large-format photographic and reflective journey into the underwater world of whales and our innate desire for connection with nature — a sense of biophilia, the deep human attraction to the living world.Featuring 289 evocative underwater photographs, seven personal stories, and over 140 pages, the book explores themes of admiration, wellbeing, presence, and connection through intimate encounters with humpback whales.
