At the beginning of 2014 Australian photographer Jem Cresswell swam with a humpback whale for the first time. The experience was to be a catalyst for a photographic project that would stretch across the next 5 years and generate over 11,000 photographs.
Giants is a rare window into the realm of the humpback. Cresswell portrays the nuanced forms of interaction between these sentient creatures with great finesse and clarity. Capturing in intimate detail the deep emotional connections humpbacks carry for one another. Giants is a triumphant elucidation of our shared behaviors, and how these behaviors echo one another in ways that should make us reconsider our relationship with the world around us.
