A timeless collection for lovers of whales, ocean photography, nature, travellers and personal storytelling.
For nearly two decades, Tris Sheen has entered the waters of Tonga alongside the humpback whales, through her family-run whale swim operation, developing a rare familiarity shaped through patience, observation, and lived experience.
From these encounters emerges Whale Being — a large-format photographic art book featuring 289 underwater images and seven deeply personal stories exploring connection, awe, wellbeing, grief, joy, and our relationship with the living world.
Across more than 140 pages, whales are revealed not simply as subjects of photography, but as intelligent, sensitive beings showing grace, curiosity, and presence.
Immersive and contemplative, Whale Being invites readers beneath the surface into moments rarely witnessed — and perhaps toward a deeper sense of whale being within themselves.
289 underwater whale photographs
7 personal stories and reflections
32 Sketches
Over 145 pages
Large format: 300 x 245 mm
Available in hardcover and softcover editions
Printed on premium fine art paper
