But it's not just photographing them - it is all in how he displays his work. Bryant will find a pod of whales, and then stay at the surface of the water, waiting for one of the whales to approach him. When they do, he starts photographing them, swimming less than six feet away from them. After taking hundreds of high resolution images of a whale - all on the whale's terms - he pieces them together into one complete, life-size whole. He's the first artist to show photos of whales at life-size, and the impact is profound. By showing these massive images in whaling countries like Norway, he hopes to change perceptions about the animals and - with luck - slow or even stop whaling. Check out the documentary on Bryant Austin's work, an interview with him, and more of the stunning images.
