Southern Winter Humpback Whale Migration

Every year during the southern winter I travel to Vava'u Tonga to photograph these amazing animals. Mother whales pushing their calfs to the surface for a breath of fresh air, to encounters with curious baby humpbacks. I wouldn't be doing what I am today if it wasn't for Humpback Whales.
