Giants
A photographic celebration of one of nature’s most majestic creatures.
Over a five-year period, photographer and filmmaker Jem Cresswell took more than 11 000 images of one of nature’s largest mammals – the humpback whale – in Tongan waters.
In Giants, Cresswell selects the most striking of these images to document the awe-inspiring behaviours of the humpback whale in a powerful combination of photography and storytelling.
