Description
With their immense size, extraordinary grace, and hauntingly mysterious songs, humpback whales are among the most majestic and awe-inspiring creatures on earth. Following the phenomenal success of his best-selling Serengeti, renowned wildlife photographer Mitsuaki Iwago has created a seminal collection of photographs, many of them dramatic close-ups, that record with visceral intimacy the grandeur of these giants as they swim, feed, dive, and surface in the open ocean. Including informative captions and a moving essay on his experiences photographing the humpbacks, Mitsuaki Iwago's Whales is the most riveting and original work ever produced about one of the world's most fascinating and spectacular creatures.
