Paul Nicklen's Biography:
Paul Nicklen (Canadian) is a visual artist and marine biologist who has documented both the beauty and the plight of
our planet for over 20 years. Paul’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, Paul’s perpetuating
dream is to revisit his archives for the true artistic gems and release them to the world. His ongoing journey is to
continue photographing intimate, evocative, powerful subject matter to create a thought-provoking body of work. Paul
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, Paul is a well-known speaker, TED
Talks participant, author, and National Geographic Fellow. In the past two decades, Paul has collaborated with scientists, filmmakers, conservationists, and explorers to create awareness and inspire action for global issues such as climate change.
Paul 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.
