Incredible Whale Encounters As Captured by Jem Cresswell -Graeme Kemlo
from Travel Writers Radio
Jem Cresswell, born in Adelaide, spent much of his youth in the ocean off the Eyre Peninsula, surfing, diving, swimming and following his father’s footsteps as a landscape photographer. However, Jem preferred the underwater world and by 14 had bought his first film camera and waterproof housing. He had his first encounter with a humpback whale in 2014 and has since spent more than five years and taken 11,000 shots of humpbacks, mostly in the deep trenches off Tonga. The result is a 200-plus page book – Giants. Jem tells Graeme Kemlo the best shots were when he floated on the surface and the whales curiously approached him and looked him in the eye.
