Bryant Austin creates high-resolution, life-size photographs of endangered whale species. His current whaling nation exhibitions represent the largest and most detailed archival photographs of whales ever produced. Devoting up to three months at a time with specific whale populations, Austin seeks out inquisitive and accepting individual whales. He free dives with the whales and photographs them at a distance of not more than six feet. Austin’s success is dependent upon the relationship he builds with his willing subject.
Almost every nation is contributing to the demise of these creatures, whether directly or indirectly. Director Kate Miller, in conjunction with Marine Mammal Conservation Through The Arts (MMCTA) recently completed In the Eye of the Whale, an award winning documentary detailing Austin’s most recent fieldwork. The MMCTA continues to fund the touring of international whaling nation exhibitions of Austin's life-size photographs, and most importantly raises funds for Austin’s critical and time sensitive future fieldwork.
