Cetacean Tale

A rare calm and silky ocean with hazy, humid and hot conditions created a surreal experience. I was taken to another world. We were quiet with anticipation wondering what would surface. Next this humpback whale glides through the ocean surface with only its tail. It's 'human' fingerprint.

About Artist

Sonia Friedrich

My passion for wildlife photography started when I moved to Byron Bay, Australia. Here I am fortunate to be surrounded by so much amazing wildlife. When I am immersed in nature I am in complete awe of everything that occurs naturally around me. I only have to wait and something arrives. Photography keeps me here longer than if I didn't carry the camera. It teaches me patience and to expect the unexpected. I love being able to capture what my eye sees, or what it cannot see. All in a moment of time. I feel so connected to myself and all that is. I feel home here. It allows me to reconnect after the work I do as a Behavioural Science Strategic Consultant and take me to another place. In another lifetime I think I would only have ever done photography.
