Excellence in Environmental Photojournalism

“[His] aesthetic vision and knowledge
of the subject matter are unlike those of any
other natural history photographer.” (National Geographic)

FRANS LANTING travels to remote areas and waits. He observes, studies and immerses himself into the lives of wild animals and the austere grandeur of nature. His work not only records the living earth, but also serves to remind us of the pressing need to address environmental problems. Often cited as one of the greatest environmental photojournalist of our times, Lanting brings the visual language to the top of the journalistic scale of excellence. As a young man of twenty-one, Lanting hiked the U. S. national parks during a school break taking photographs. What are your plans for the summer break?
