Humpback whales have different characters. Some are not interested to swim with people at all, and some are quite curious about those strange creatures with snorkels and masks. This humpback came up and spy hopped right in front of me. Because of the wide angle lens it looks further away than it was in reality. I estimate I was as close as 1.5mtr from its chin haha.
This artwork is offered by Koen Hoekemeijer
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.
