Who is Paul Nicklen?

Paul Nicklen is a Canadian photographer, filmmaker, and marine biologist who has documented the beauty and plight of our planet for more than thirty years. Focusing on the polar regions, his evocative nature photography displays a deep reverence and sensitivity for the wildlife and environment of these most isolated, endangered places in the world. Over that time, he has said it is one thing to capture the natural World in a moment of grace and dignity, but that pales in comparison to an image that shines a brighter light on the
environmental crisis and drives everyday people to action, even if only in some small way.
Nicklen did not come to this style of documentary photography by accident. He was born to it. Through the power of the image and, just as importantly, emotion and raw power, his work has been singled out for creating a unique connection between image and viewer by featuring wild subjects in some of the most extreme conditions known on Earth.
