Darren Jew, an Australian underwater specialist photographer who captured nine whales in a single frame. He set the Guinness world record because he was the first person to do so.

According to the Daily Telegraph, Darren Jew swam along with Ai Futaki who holds the Guinness world record for free-diving. They swam off the coast of Tonga.

The report by the newspaper also read that Jew, a 48-year-old from Brisbane, waited for two decades so that he could capture the beautiful images of the whales swimming. He said that on the occasion that he captured the picture that resulted in him shooting the magnificent image, everything like the weather, the light, the location, the water clarity and the whales came together perfectly. He said that he had images of six and seven whales at a time, but this was the first time there were 9 whales in one shot.

Darren Jew, onboard the ship Ortelius off the coast of Antarctica, said that for the moment to be captured and for the opportunity not to be missed, Ai Fatuki had to act fast as the whales were travelling at about 10 knots. He added that if there was any hesitation from their side, then the image would have not been what it was. He said that he knew he had captured something very special when he surfaced.

The image showed the whales swimming their way through the depths off the coast of Tonga. The images, as described by The Daily Telegraph, were beautiful and striking. It read that it was a beautiful image that captured the grace of the creatures underwater.
