It started when we saw an orange buoy floating at the surface, not knowing what was happening. We jumped in. I decided to capture some images to document the situation and returned to the boat. Many times, even with reports, the authorities never find the animal in the vast ocean, or they arrive too late. (This is not to encourage others to do the same.)
There was tension and emotion in the air, but we decided to act.
I had worked as a commercial diver in a fishing port, where one of my main tasks was untangling nets from propellers, a dangerous and delicate job. We quickly assessed the situation. Between two amazing people and myself, we freed the whale, taking turns.
At one point, I approached the whale’s face to look into its eyes, to try to reassure it and let it know we were there. I believe whales are empathetic animals, capable of feeling and expressing emotion. (Maybe that’s just a human projection, but in that moment, I felt the weight of its gaze, and the whale accepted me.) We freed it, but it was already too late.

I decided to submit these photos to major competitions, (I had very limited visibility on social networks) hoping to reach as many people as possible and raise awareness about this issue. It worked. The story spread across the BBC, National Geographic, CNN, The Guardian, Daily Mail, Sky News, and many NGOs and platforms.
To those who claim I did it for exposure, I could have filmed the rescue, made a romantic story out of it. But I put the camera down and helped with my heart.

My conscience is at peace. We acted from the HEART, above any human law, doing the best we could with what we had in that moment.

I want to show the full video, reach as much people as possible so that, together, we can create real solutions to this and other problems affecting our world.
