What happens when a childhood fascination with animals turns into a life spent swimming with whales?

In this conversation, I'm joined by Trish Sheen, underwater photographer, whale guide and founder of a whale swimming school in Tonga. From growing up on boats and exploring the ocean with her family, to photographing some of the world's most remarkable marine life, Trish has spent decades building a deep connection with the sea.

After discovering photography through her artistic background, Trish found a new way to experience the ocean — capturing moments that few people ever get to witness, including encounters with humpback whales and one of the world's rarest animals: an albino white whale.

In this conversation, we talk about:

• Growing up on the water and how her family eventually found their way to Tonga
• Swimming with humpback whales and photographing the rare albino whale, Siale
• A memorable encounter that left her with a squid on her face
• How photography changed the way she sees and experiences the underwater world
