| Frans Lanting |
| Frans Lanting is one of the great nature photographers of our time. His influential work appears in books, magazines, and exhibitions around
the world. For more than two decades he has documented wildlife and our relationship with nature in environments from the Amazon to Antarctica.
He portrays wild creatures as ambassadors for the preservation of complete ecosystems, and his publications have increased worldwide
awareness of endangered ecological treasures across the earth. |
| Lanting’s work has been commissioned frequently by National Geographic, where he is a Photographer-in-Residence. His assignments
have ranged from a search for the bonobos of central Africa to a unique circumnavigation by sailboat of South Georgia Island in the sub
Antarctic. Images from his year-long odyssey to assess global biodiversity at the turn of the millennium filled the Feb 1999 issue of
National Geographic. |
