A baby humpback dances and plays in the infinity of the southern Pacific Ocean. This experience is unforgettable and one of the most beautiful things you can experience in life.
Every year, thousands of humpback whales migrate from Antarctica to the tropical waters of the Kingdom of Tonga. They come there to give birth to calves but also to mate again. After about 4 months they leave for Antarctica where the summer starts. During their time in Tonga, the whales do not eat (except for the calves that drink hundreds of litres of milk every day), so they are hungry ;)
One of my own favorites.

Lived in Amsterdam, but decided in 2018 to pursue his dreams. Currently lives and works in Tonga where he works for a whale snorkeling operator. Favorite are mainly wildlife photography with a great passion for whales and tigers, as well as photographing people and "life". Can wait hours for that one shot, and then wait another day for a better shot. Has a very long and extensive to-do list of places to visit ;-)! Thank you very much for your interest and who knows, maybe a work of mine will soon be hanging on your wall.
