Frans Lanting Biography

Frans Lanting has been hailed as one of the great nature photographers of our time. His influential work appears in books magazines and exhibitions around the world. Born in Rotterdam the Netherlands he earned a master’s degree in economics then moved to the United States to study environmental planning. Soon after he began photographing the natural world--and never turned back.
For three decades he has documented wildlife from the Amazon to Antarctica to promote understanding about the Earth and its natural history through images that convey a passion for nature and a sense of wonder about our living planet.
“Frans Lanting has set the standards for a whole generation of wildlife photographers’’ according to the BBC. “Mr. Lanting’s photographs take creatures that have become ordinary and transform them into haunting new visions” writes field biologist Dr. George Schaller in The New York Times. “As a chronicler of natural history today Frans Lanting is a singular extraordinary talent” says Thomas Kennedy former Director of Photography at National Geographic. “He has the mind of a scientist the heart of a hunter and the eyes of a poet.”
