Like us, whales have culture. But how do you photograph it? Craig Welch © Photograph by Steve De Neef Brian Skerry photographs a pod of sperm whales off the coast of Dominica. There’s a lot to consider when photographing sperm whales underwater. The bulk of their lives are spent in the dark, with only brief spells in the light at the surface.  The sun must be out and must hit the whale just so. The sea can’t be silty, or the image will look blotched or grainy. It’s also difficult to get near the animals while wearing noisy scuba gear, so you mostly have to free dive. And in those precious moments between breaths, as waves and whale flukes and other sea life churn the water, you still have to record whales, some the size of two school buses, behaving in a way that’s telling.
