Paul Nicklen Figurative 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.

I watched in awe as she demonstrated her power, grace, and natural ability underwater.
