In the Eye of the Whale: Artist’s Reception | SOMA

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Intimate distance is necessary to reveal the true colors, tonal range and intricate detail in Bryant Austin’s photographs: In the Eye of the Whale. The process rests on the artist’s complete trust of his whale subjects not to bring him accidental or intentional harm. His photographs become possible only when they choose to inspect him at distances less than six feet. During these rare and special moments Austin has experienced the whale’s precision movements around his body, gently repositioning their pectoral fins and flukes where they would have otherwise caused injury.
