For many years’ work on illustrating the wonders of nature — zealously, uniquely and powerfully Picture Gallery Frans Lanting (b. 1951 in Holland, now resident in California) has taken his camera where few others have ventured and revealed what was previously obscured, demonstrating his passion and craftsmanship in a unique way. His images — at once intimate and grand, journalistic and scientific — of wildlife, wild places, natural history, science and conservation reflect 25 years’ assiduous fieldwork around the world. Lanting and his wife seek “to promote knowledge and understanding about the earth and its natural history through images and ideas that convey a passion for nature and a sense of wonder about our living planet”, and actively promote conservation at various levels, from local schemes to global initiatives.
