Whalen, Zach

Zach Whalen is a professional photographer based in Boston who specializes in telling the story of the marine world. Zach has a particular affinity for spots where most divers don’t go, from the cold water of New England to underwater caves. He feels most alive when he is diving and finding new places where no one else has ever been. He believes that to understand the marine world one needs to observe creatures in their own habitat. They don’t look the same when pulled out of the water. Taking pictures is a way to capture the mystery and beauty of sea creatures at home in their natural environment and bring this knowledge back to our terrestrial world.
