About the Item
Unique Piece / One of a Kind
An upper jaw of an Elephant skull. Museum Archival Print on Hahnemühle Laid paper, Photography painted with Drawing Ink, Gold Pigments. Handwritten poem by Edgar Allan Poe.
He is one of the multifaceted artists among Fine Art Photographers and started this style of work already more than 30 years ago. All these pieces are unique, hand painted and handwritten with gold pigments, iron oxide and ink.
»They enhances my work by an additional dimension that allows me to convey a much deeper perception of my view of the world, its beauty, but also its vulnerability«
For years, Joachim Schmeisser has been photographing the last giants of Africa at close range, creating exceptionally intimate portraits of species threatened with extinction.
In his new series – The Last Of Their Kind – he focuses on the beauty of creation and its fragile transience.
These striking images are timeless works that can be interpreted on different levels: as depictions of a distant past or as iconic memories in a not too distant future in which we can only admire these majestic creatures in zoos. They are both an homage and a final warning - visual revelations that sharpen our clouded view of nature in all its infinite complexity as well as recognizing what treasures we might irretrievably lose.
In 2012, Joachim Schmeisser was awarded with the prestigious Hasselblad Master award for his series on African Wildlife. He is considered one of the most outstanding and multi-faceted Fine Art Photographers in the world. He is best known for his exceptionally intimate and touching portraits of the most endangered species in Africa.
In 2017 his book »Elephants in Heaven« was launched by the German Publisher teNeues and sold out within 4 months.
Particular noteworthy are his large-sized unique prints. By using a large format Sinar camera and medium format cameras he creates prints even in a format of three to 4 meters or more as a unique piece edition.

Joachim Schmeisser
With iconic portraits of Africa‘s big game, Joachim Schmeisser became world-famous, and his distinctive visual language, which brought him great international acclaim, earned him the prestigious Hasselblad Master Award in 2012.
The timelessness and intimacy of his photographs are unique and characterized by a delicate sense of "greatness" that transcends ordinary beauty and makes the concept of the "sublime" palpable. He gives us the feeling of witnessing something infinite or unattainable, and his phenomenal lighting moods and incomparable compositions open up emotional levels that are difficult to put into words.
Joachim Schmeisser‘s unique perspective on the world sets him apart and goes far beyond the usual image of nature photography, documentary, or action photography. He reveals to us a magical vision of our world with equal individuals in which we ultimately recognize ourselves.
Joachim Schmeisser is among the most important artists in this genre worldwide. His books on Africa‘s endangered wildlife, "Elephants in Heaven" and "Last of their Kind," have become bestsellers.
