Christopher Swann is a British photographer who takes majestic pictures of whales and dolphins.

“I have been looking at whales for the last 25 years,” he says. “It is what I do almost every day”

“I love the beauty and perfection of the sea. Cetaceans epitomise that”

“Nothing is more perfect than any cetacean underwater, but whales are really special”

“I have been at sea sailing since I was 17 (40 years ago)”

“I ran whale-watching holidays, first in the Hebrides, and then in the Canary Islands”

“I would love to be able to devote my time to whale photography”
