Ideal for natural history documentaries, conservation campaigns, and educational content, these cinematic whale sequences showcase the scale, grace, and vulnerability of the ocean’s giants.
Whale Behavior and Filming
I film underwater whale footage regularly in the Gulf of California and along the Baja California Peninsula. Most of this work comes from repeated time in the field, which allows me to follow patterns rather than rely on isolated encounters.
The collection includes blue whales, humpbacks, fin whales, gray whales, and sperm whales. I focus on behavior such as breaching, nursing, surface interaction, and movement through open water.
Because I return to the same areas and work within known seasons, many of these sequences show consistent behavior that is difficult to capture on short timelines.
