We are in the midst of the sixth mass extinction, with about 150 species disappearing each day. This dramatic loss of biodiversity, the very foundation of life, poses a threat even greater than climate change. In response, Joachim Schmeisser’s second book, The Last of Their Kind, celebrates Africa’s most magnificent yet endangered animals—elephants, rhinos, giraffes, lions, cheetahs, leopards, and mountain gorillas. Through intimate portraits, Schmeisser both pays homage to these creatures and warns us of a future where their beauty will live only in memories and photographs.
Schmeisser is known for his conservation photography and his work documenting African wildlife, particularly elephants. This image exemplifies his style, which combines artistic composition with intimate wildlife observation. The photograph not only captures the physical characteristics of these magnificent creatures but also conveys emotional depth through the clear bond between parent and child.
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.
