In this fleeting moment captured by Joachim Schmeisser, the viewer is granted a glimpse into the raw beauty and untamed majesty of the African savannah and the fragile existence of one of its most iconic inhabitants, the rhinoceros. The animal is rising from the ground in a whirl of dust. Barely visible, a small white bird sits beside it, emphasizing the rhino but seemingly unbothered by the bigger animal.
Beyond its imposing presence, the rhino holds a fascinating significance in the natural world. The endangered giants face habitat loss and threats of poaching for their valuable horns. Despite their formidable appearance, rhinos are typically docile creatures, preferring to graze peacefully on grasses and shrubs. However, they can become fiercely protective if provoked or threatened. Rhinos also play a crucial role as keystone species in their ecosystems, shaping the landscape and maintaining biodiversity.
Majestic and fragile – Joachim Schmeisser's 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. SchmeiSchmeisser'sgraphs 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 SchmeiSchmeisser 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.
