Joachim Schmeisser has been photographing endangered species for several years now. This beautiful black-and-white image depicts a group of young leopards lying in a cozy embrace on a hill in the savannah. Their sleek, spotted coats blend seamlessly with the dry grass surrounding them, creating a mesmerizing tableau of beauty and tranquility. With two animals standing guard while the others are cuddled together, the leopards exude an aura of familial affection and camaraderie.
But beyond their endearing display lies a sobering reality. Despite their adaptability and elusive nature, leopards face numerous threats that have led to their status as an endangered species. Habitat loss, poaching, illegal wildlife trade, human-wildlife conflict, and prey depletion contribute to their decline. In the heartwarming scene on the hillside, the cuddling leopards serve as a poignant reminder of the beauty and fragility of life in the wild. Yet, their vulnerable status underscores the urgent need for conservation efforts to protect these magnificent creatures and ensure their survival for generations to come, something Joachim Schmeisser tirelessly promotes with his works.
Majestic and fragile – Joachim Schmeisser’s wildlife photography is as complex as the reality before his lens. The German photographer works with African conservation agencies and trusts to portray and protect the animal kingdom. Schmeisser’s photographs of lions, rhinos, elephants, or cheetahs are not mere images but encounters with nature. Encounters that show not only the relationality of these majestic creatures but also the interdependencies of our ecosystem. Expansive skies, the soft tips of savanna grass, and the almost biblical light drenching Schmeisser’s scenes make his photography an intimate and emotional experience.

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.
