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. For more than two decades he has documented wildlife and our relationship with nature in environments from the Amazon to Antarctica.

"As a chronicler of natural history today, Frans Lanting is a singular, extraordinary talent," said 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."

Frans Lanting recently created a major multimedia project Life: A Journey Through Time. The Life project, six years in development, is Lanting's most ambitious project to date. Lanting's goal was to tell the story of Life through photographic images—from prehistoric trilobites to giant tortoises, delicate jellies to spiny octopus trees, and from steaming jungles to shimmering coral reefs. The Life Project is a testament to the magical beauty and enduring miracle of our living planet. The resulting images will be exhibited in museums worldwide, in print and as part of a multimedia orchestral performance by renowned composer Philip Glass.

Lanting's presentations feature stunning images and stories of his fieldwork, along with thoughtful commentary on the challenges of global conservation and the role of photography in inspiring a new vision of our world.

LIFE: The Unfolding Story
Drawing from his seven year project, Lanting shares a visually stunning and insightful story of life on Earth from the Big Bang to today. This glorious celebration of life inspires and informs by showing vast biodiversity from microscopic worlds to nature's greatest creatures, and demonstrating the undeniable web of life on which our survival depends.

Climate Change: Looking Back & Ahead
Drawing from his vast body of work, Lanting shows how the Earth's atmosphere serves as protective membrane for life at all levels, and how maintaining our natural systems in order to keep intact this protective shell is vital to the health of our planet.
