Tim Burgess, Stories of the Ocean (ANIMAL & NATURE 2022)

In life, we are not often granted moments that stop you in your place, to admire the beauty of what you’re seeing. Its been said that humans and whales have strong similarities which is why we develop lasting connections viewing these pinnacles of the ocean. Humpbacks make one of the longest animal migrations known to man, and they do so without fail every single year. In the summertime, the humpbacks gather down south in the chilly Arctic waters, where they feed plentifully on krill. This is their feeding season and readies them for the journey ahead to give birth. These images were captured during the annual northern migration using aerial technology whilst respectfully keeping distance from these wonders of the sea.
