Book Description
Jem Cresswell's striking anthropomorphic photographic work allows us to view the complex creatures that are humpback whales and the intimate bonds they form in a manner that is befitting of sentient beings who think, feel and communicate like we do. It opens a dialogue that mutes the distances between our species, creating a space in which the restless modern spirit is humbled into peaceful submission.
