Pre-Order Maui Whales & Ocean Tales Coffee Table Book

Maui Whales & Ocean Tales — The Coffee Table Book

Maui Whales & Ocean Tales is a fine art photography book two years in the making - a rare, multi-perspective portrait of the North Pacific humpback whale documented across aerial, surface, and underwater environments in the waters off West Maui.

Shot by fine art nature photographer and expedition guide Emily McCulliss over two full whale seasons, the book captures the extraordinary world that unfolds each winter just beyond the shoreline, from the sweep of a breach seen from above, to the stillness of a mother and calf resting in the blue, to where a humpback fills the frame and the frame fills the world.

This is not a wildlife encyclopedia. It is an immersive visual experience designed to close the distance between the world we live in and the one we too rarely notice. Pairing large-format fine art photography with field notes, narrative storytelling, and scientific context drawn from hundreds of hours on and beneath the Pacific, Maui Whales & Ocean Tales is a book built for the coffee table, but designed to move you somewhere much further than your living room.

A portion of proceeds supports humpback whale research and marine conservation in Hawaiian waters.
