Marco Queral

We can thank Marco Queral for these extrodinary pictures. Queral is a diver and underwater photographer that documents his own courageous interaction with enormous humpback whales (among many other types of sea life) in the South Pacific.

These unbelievable pictures were taken near the Hawaiian Islands last year by Queral who says that 'the personalities of humpback whales are very particular and they are the ones that decide if you are going to get good photos or not' adding 'the whales are very intelligent and sometimes they will be in a mood to let you photograph them, and sometimes they will not'.



Queral admits that there are numerous tricks he uses to get the attention of whales and other animals he photographs, however feels that whales are gentle and peaceful creatures.
