Matt Walch is an Ocean photographer based in Tahiti. Picturing his underwater encounters in a dark and dreamy way, his goal is to make you feel what it's like to experience these humbling moments.

"Take a deep breath and follow me beneath the waves... This image was shot in Tahiti, French Polynesia, where I am lucky enough to live! This season I had the pleasure to meet this humpback whale calf and his mother quite a few times... I've seen him grow quite a bit! He was shy at first, but somehow we bonded and he kept coming closer and closer, as his mother was resting a few meters below. I chose this meaningful moment as an affordable edition because it is the exact message I'm trying to convey though my photography and conservation efforts : we can coexist and interact with each others in a peaceful, beautiful way."
