Paul Nicklen Abstract Photography
Paul Nicklen is a Canadian visual artist and marine biologist, who has documented both the beauty and the plight of our planet, for over 20 years. Nicklen’s photography informs and connects by creating an emotional bond with wild subjects, in extreme conditions.
After a 20-year career of photographing for journalistic publications like National Geographic, Nicklen has a perpetual dream to revisit his archives for the true artistic gems and release them to the world. His ongoing journey is to continue photographing intimate, evocative and powerful subject matter to create a thought-provoking body of work. Nicklen hopes his viewers look into the eyes of the animals in his photographs and fall in love with their vulnerability.
In addition to being one of the world’s most renowned nature photographers, Nicklen is a well-known speaker, TED Talks participant, author and National Geographic Fellow. In the past two decades, he has collaborated with scientists, filmmakers, conservationists and explorers to create awareness and inspire action for global issues, such as climate change. He has garnered more than 30 of the highest awards given to any photographer in his field, earning a global following of celebrities, conservationists and fans.

By Alex Sher
Located in Beverly Hills, CA
“Surprise” is a part of Alex Sher’s popular series REFLECTIONS - underwater photographs that could be almost mistaken for abstract paintings as they bring up recollections of masterpieces by Picasso, Dali or Gustav Klimt. In fact REFLECTIONS are straight photographic capturing of the water’s surface from below, with a submerged underwater camera. The photographs freeze natural momentary reflections in water surface - the unique kaleidoscopic fragmentations of human body into nearly unrecognizable forms.
It is these bold accents of color, mesmerizing textures, dramatic lines, and distinctive distortions that make Sher’s works unique highly advisable masterpieces.
