David Fairs, The Breach (ANIMALS 2024)

After many attempts to find these beautiful creatures during the 2022 whale migration, including a failed whale watching tour, I was gifted an experience I will never forget. I have shot many whale breaches before and I even shot another 14 breaches this day and have never been able to time the shot this perfectly. For me this shot is as rare as it gets and quite possibly a once in a lifetime photograph. I was extremely proud to have this image selected by National Geographic to appear in an upcoming book publication in 2024 also.
