One of Brian Skerry’s most iconic and popular photographs, First Encounter shows the meeting of a diver and 45-foot, 70-ton Southern Right Whale on the sea floor. The picture was made in the sub-Antarctic of New Zealand on a National Geographic magazine assignment in which Brian photographed whales that had never seen humans before.
