26yrs old, I am a 3rd year PhD student working on killer whales of the Crozet islands, a french territory located in sub-antarctic waters. see www.cebc.cnrs.fr/Fidentite/tixier/tixier.htm I've been there 4 times and therefore a lot of the pictures were taken there.
Most of the other pictures were taken in British Columbia (Canada). I worked there from 2003 to 2007on acoustical behaviour and photo-identification of killer whales. See www.orcalab.org)
Some pictures come from the Seychelles islands. I was there in 2007 to study interactions between longliners and false killer whales and short finned pilot whales.
I worked on bottlenose dolphins, striped dolphins and fin whales in the Mediterranean sea in 2002 and 2003 which explains the few pictures taken there.
Amongst other places I've taken pictures in, you'll find Alaska and Mexico.

"I only know Paul through his photographs and writings here on Flickr. He has such a lovely unique style in his work, a lush rich texture of water and life - when you see one you know Aarluk did it.
His subjects are also dear to my heart - orcas and seabirds and sea lions and watery landscapes - and he deals with them with such passion and insight. I love seeing new work from him. The passion of a dedicated scientist and the eye of an artiste, it's a great combination."31st January, 2007
